Our Communication Services
In this episode of the Vital Health Podcast, host Duane Schulthess speaks with two key voices driving the PRIME-ROSE initiative: Gro Live Fagereng, Project Manager of the EU-project PRIME-ROSE and Coordinator of Precision Cancer Medicine at Oslo University Hospital, and Henk van der Pol, Ph.D. Candidate at Leiden University Medical Center. They explain the DRUP (Drug Rediscovery Protocol) trial approach, which repurposes existing oncology drugs for new off-label uses, and discuss how this can widen treatment options for patients with rare or underserved tumor types. They also describe the complexities of consolidating small patient cohorts across multiple sites and countries, shedding light on how data models like OMOP help standardize clinical information.
