At this year’s ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting & Exposition, SCRI investigators, including physicians from The US Oncology Network, will discuss groundbreaking research in malignant and non-malignant blood cancer, CAR T-Cell therapy, real-world outcomes, and targeted immunotherapies.
"We look forward to sharing our research insights, including the latest developments in the treatment of sickle cell disease, immune effector cell therapy, and other novel therapies that are advancing the way we treat blood cancers and blood disorders," said Howard A. "Skip" Burris, III, MD, President, SCRI. "We are proud to share these important updates through the work of more than 65 investigators from across our network, which can only be done through the power of collaboration."
In November 2022, McKesson and HCA Healthcare formed a joint venture combining SCRI with former US Oncology Research, the research arm of The US Oncology Network. The collaboration brings together physicians who are actively enrolling patients into clinical trials at more than 250 locations in 24 states across the U.S. More than 65 investigators from the joint venture will present insights at this year’s Annual Meeting. Separately, Ontada, McKesson’s oncology real-world data and evidence, clinical education, and provider technology business, is also presenting two posters at the conference.
