Season JohnsonGUEST
I love that you mentioned that about the trial.
Season JohnsonGUEST
So one of the things that I educate my families on now, when they're not in a, a unique clinical trial for a more rare type of cancer, when they're just diagnosed within the realm of a childhood cancer diagnosis, they're immediately put into what's called the Children's Oncology Group, the COG.
Season JohnsonGUEST
That is technically a trial, and what I learned six months into our diagnosis is if I opted him out of that, it gave me more freedom in conversation with the oncology team.
Season JohnsonGUEST
And I'll answer the first part of your question in a moment of how they responded, but I teach my families opt out of the trial for the chil- the general Children's Oncology Group because that's where you have a little bit more leverage of giving supplements and potentially getting approval from your team.
Season JohnsonGUEST
But as far as how they responded, so this is really devastating.
Season JohnsonGUEST
I remember I had a connection, a former employer of mine, who happened to know the, the head top oncologist of one of the most prestigious children's hospitals in California.
Gopi ShahHOST
What does that mean? And what kind of questions when you kind of really get granular when you're thinking about cancer care in the head and neck in kids?
Anthony SheynGUEST
I mean, they're very similar, like what kind of treatment we need, what kind of protocol, because there is a lot as members of the Children's Oncology Group, there are a lot of protocols out there.
Anthony SheynGUEST
St. Jude has their own protocols for a lot of tumors.
Anthony SheynGUEST
So and then like, can you take this out? When can you take this out? Because we do a lot of planning if we accept somebody.
Christopher LonghurstGUEST
I told you about the cystic fibrosis treatments.
Christopher LonghurstGUEST
We helped develop a lot of the chemotherapy protocols for children with cancer as part of what's called the Children's Oncology Group.
Christopher LonghurstGUEST
We have amazing faculty and, uh, staff at SCRI, and I think this is one of the areas where AI's gonna have the biggest impact.
Christopher LonghurstGUEST
We do basic science research at SCRI to help develop tomorrow's cures.
Krista KellerGUEST
And I really appreciate anyone who gives it to our foundation for this cause.
Krista KellerGUEST
And yeah, we've funded our, the mission was, mission or the goal was to not some some foundations we they will um you know pick a type of cancer and research for that type great um we decided that we i whatever decided that i wanted to go after the most the the cancers that were in the most need of funding the most underfunded under-researched and so that's kind of been our our model going forward and We've worked with the Children's Oncology Group to get advice on what those could be.
Krista KellerGUEST
Again, because I'm not a medical professional.
Krista KellerGUEST
I've asked you guys.
Davide SoldatoHOST
So what was the randomization and what is the main objective of the trial and which type of data did you collect in the study?
Erin MobleyGUEST
My involvement in this study and the opportunity to work with amazing mentors like Dr. Chow and Dr. Lip-Schultz and everyone on the study team is thanks to a Young Investigator Award through Children's Oncology Group that was funded by the STAR Act.
Erin MobleyGUEST
And it gave me the opportunity to collaborate with the senior leaders in the field of this area of survivorship as a young investigator.
