- The ADMIRE study, by treating immunocompromised patients, builds on the momentum of Alpha Tau's ReSTART pivotal trial for recurrent cSCC, which recently completed patient enrollment, under which the Banner MD Anderson team, led by Dr. Samuels, has also treated multiple patients -
- Immunocompromised patients face dramatically higher rates of cSCC, the second most common type of skin cancer in the U.S., than the general population - as much as 65- to 100-fold among organ transplant recipients specifically -
- For many patients in this population, the general treatment options for recurrent cSCC can actually cause real harm: checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy, the standard option for the general population, carries a documented risk of triggering rejection of a transplanted organ -
