“The V Foundation grant supported our work to develop simulations of clinical trials of drug combinations, which have already been used to design trials of new regimens for Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas that may improve patient survival in the near future. Our next steps will develop widely applicable simulations that clinicians and companies around the world can use to aid the design of new combination therapies across many cancer types. In the next few years, this could improve the rate of success of clinical trials of new treatments, accelerating progress to victory over cancer.”
