Friends of Cancer Research (Friends) is proud to announce a new virtual meeting discussing important project findings and results: Do changes in ctDNA reflect response to treatment? ctDNA to Monitor Treatment Response (ctMoniTR) is a first of its kind partnership led by Friends to answer this same question. Building on our past work, this virtual meeting will promo new results and dive deeper into ctMoniTR and its latest findings during Step 1 of this multi-year partnership. Speakers, panelists, and presenters will review the rationale that led to the creation of the ctMoniTR Project, describe the results of Step 1 of the Project, and discuss how this sets the stage for Step 2, which seeks to better understand and establish ctDNA as a monitoring tool for treatment response.

ctMoniTR is a unique research partnership in collaboration with AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Genentech, Guardant Health, Johns Hopkins University, LexentBio, Merck, the NMD Group LLC, Penn Medicine, Roche Dx, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
