Patient-founded nonprofit seeks to stimulate innovative research to improve outcomes for patients with ROS1+ cancers.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - CuisineWire -- The ROS1ders is pleased to issue their 2024 Request for Application (RFA) to study ROS1-positive (ROS1+) cancer. The RFA is open to investigators who hold a doctorate degree and a faculty appointment at an academic or non-profit research institution anywhere in the world.
"While oral targeted therapies are approved to treat ROS1+ cancer, the drugs don't work for everyone, and they eventually stop working. We are committed to investing in research to improve patient outcomes," says Janet Freeman-Daily, MS, Engr, co-founder and president of The ROS1ders.
The ROS1+ Cancer Innovation Award aims to fund high-risk, high-reward projects focused on ROS1+ cancers. The one-year $75,000 seed grant can be used for pre-clinical, translational, or clinical research.
"Seed grants allow for the generation of initial data to support larger research endeavors," said D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD, Professor of Medicine/Oncology at the University of Colorado and a member of The ROS1ders Scientific Advisory Board. "While some seeds fail, others grow into mighty trees - they can be the seeds of real breakthroughs."

About ROS1+ Cancer
- ROS1+ cancer is relatively rare, occurring in just 1-2% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The incidence is thought to be similar in other types of cancer.
- Biomarker testing for ROS1 fusions is recommended in guidelines for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but for few other cancers.
- Patients are typically younger than the average NSCLC patient, have adenocarcinoma, and have no smoking history (a smoking history should not exclude patients from biomarker testing or targeted therapies).
- Oral targeted therapies are the recommended first-line treatment for metastatic ROS1+NSCLC and have increased the survival of patients by years. However, these drugs eventually stop working due to acquired resistance. The mechanisms of resistance are not well understood.
