Research

As a medical oncologist my career is dedicated to the care of patients with soft tissue and bone sarcomas. I am developing clinical trials to study novel targeted therapies in this patient population and to elucidate the reasons why some patients respond to targeted therapy while others do not. In addition, given my particular interest in geriatrics, I am looking at ways to optimize care for older adults with bone and soft tissue sarcoma, and to utilize genomic sequencing to establish clinical trials specifically for this patient population for which therapeutic options can often be limited.

I serve currently as Site Principal Investigator on several clinical trials in medical oncology:

  • a.     201801202: A Phase IB Trial Of Neoadjuvant AMG 232 Concurrent With Preoperative Radiotherapy In Wild-Type P53 Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS)
  • b.     201904129: A Randomized Study Comparing the Efficacy of the Combination of Doxorubicin and the Tumor-Targeting Human Antibody-Cytokine Fusion Protein L19TNF to Doxorubicin Alone as First-Line Therapy in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcoma
  • c.     201911176: A Phase 1b/3 Global, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Tazemetostat in Combination With Doxorubicin as Frontline Therapy for Advanced Epithelioid Sarcoma
  • d.     202001168: A Phase 2, Single-Arm Open-Label Study of Abemaciclib for Treatment of Advanced Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcoma Identified as having CDK Pathway Alteration
  • e.     202002113: A Phase II Study of Cabozantinib and Temozolomide in Patients with Unresectable or Metastatic Leiomyosarcoma and Other Soft Tissue Sarcomas
