Under his leadership, a new drug combination to treat women with this type of breast cancer, that is based on prior preclinical studies from the Cancer Clinical Research Trust (CCRT) research team based in the NICB, has entered clinical development in a recently opened Phase 1 clinical trial named CAROLINE-1. The CAROLINE-1 study received support from CCRT, The Caroline Foundation, BreastPredict and Puma Biotechnology Inc.

Remembering Mary Jones, our wonderful friend and former CCRT colleague. May she rest in peace x

CCRT l

Mary was the founder clinical research oncology data manager in St. Vincent’s University Hospital. She defined the top end of the scale of excellence for this crucial job. The quality of her work was the subject of rave reviews by international trial monitors and auditors over the years. Above all she was a dear friend to us all on the CCRT team. She will be deeply missed.

Our sincerest sympathies to her daughter Annie, her granddaughters Isabel and Mollie, her son-in-law Rob and her family and friends x
