NYC Salon 43: A Personal Journey Through Experimental Oncology Clinical Trials

March 7, 2017 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

How do you function in crisis scenarios? On your own? On a team?

Operating in the realm of uncertainty, relapsed and refractory cancer patients seeking clinical trials find themselves making critical, life-altering decisions with minimal data.

At this week’s Salon, we’ll dive into the expectations, frustrations, joys, and fears of clinical trial participants and their care teams – and seek to understand the varying motivations driving each actor – from the caregiver, to the physician, and more.

Join us as Ariella (resident patient-turned-oncology-geek) guides participants through some simulations based off of her own experiences in the oncology and clinical trial sphere.
What will you discover?

About the Speaker:
Ariella was first diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma before her junior year in college. Confronted with a refractory, metastatic disease, she would go on to receive over a dozen different treatments before enrolling in an immunotherapy clinical trial for nivolumab (Opdivo®). Ariella ultimately “graduated” from the trial and transitioned into a career in healthcare IT. Today, Ariella champions patient advocacy and works with leading organizations such as the Cancer Research Institute to share her immunotherapy success story. In May 2016, nivolumab received FDA approval for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma.

About NYC Salon:
Our hope is that we can help make the city a smaller place, one discussion, one cup of tea and one debate at a time.
