Dr. David Kirsch

David Kirsch MD PhD, unveiled the SU2C-SARC032 findings at ASCO 2024. SARC032 is a global, multicenter, randomized phase 2 study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of combining pembrolizumab (pembro) with standard radiation therapy (RT) and surgery for patients with stage III undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) and pleomorphic/dedifferentiated liposarcoma (LPS). The results indicate that adding pembro decreases the risk of cancer recurrence by 43% two years after treatment. This remarkable achievement is the result of a collaborative effort, with SARC, as the trial sponsor, proudly working together with Dr. Kirsch, Stand Up To Cancer, Merck, and other partners on this significant clinical research.
