Every Sunday, Scott and Quyen, his childhood sweetheart, who later became his wife, came to Viet’s house in Medford, Mass., and took Viet and his sister Chau out for breakfast sandwiches. Scott taught Viet how to ride a bike. He checked in on him at every family gathering. He became a role model for Viet, setting an example as a hardworking home builder, husband and father of three.\r\n\r\nSo, when Scott was diagnosed with Stage 4 gastrointestinal cancer in July 2022, and died of the illness at the age of 49 in March 2023, the loss rocked Viet and his family. But on April 15, they’re taking their next steps forward together — at the 128th Boston Marathon®.\r\n\r\nIn memory of Scott and to honor the care he received at Mass General Cancer Center’s \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Ftreatments-and-services\u002Fgastrointestinal-cancers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ETucker Gosnell Center for Gastrointestinal Cancers,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Viet, Chau and Quyen are all running to raise funds for \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fchildren\u002Fcancer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General for Children\u003C\u002Fa\u003E’s pediatric cancer research. The family hopes their efforts make it possible for children with cancer to have access to the same leading-edge treatments that Scott received.\r\n\r\n“It’s a really positive thing for all of us to run this race together, in the hardest year we’ve ever experienced as a family,” says Viet, who, at 27 years old, recently earned a master’s degree in mathematical finance from Boston University. He now works at Fidelity Investments in the firm’s Boston office. “This shows that we can push through grief and be positive and live life to the fullest. What I want is to make sure Scott’s memory lives on through us and his kids.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EFrom Refugee to Role Model\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nScott came from Vietnam to the U.S. in the early 1980s as a refugee. After settling in Philadelphia with his family, Scott came to Boston during high school to work for Viet’s dad at his residential construction company. Viet was born when Scott was in college at Northeastern University, and he has fond memories of Scott and Quyen living at his house before they moved into their own place.\r\n\r\n“He was a really great man,” Viet says. “He married the love of his life, they raised three beautiful children, and he went out and built his own hardwood flooring business over the course of 25 years. But Scott’s biggest motivation was to take care of all of us. It was inspiring for me, growing up and seeing someone prioritize the right things, like caring for his family and making an impact on the community.”\r\n\r\nWhen Scott was diagnosed, Viet says that his care team at \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General Cancer Center\u003C\u002Fa\u003E did everything they could do to treat his cancer. But, given the advanced nature and progression of Scott’s illness, their care eventually transitioned to focus on Scott’s quality of life for his terminal illness, and on comforting the family.\r\n\r\n“What stands out for me is the support the Mass General Cancer Center team gave to me and family, giving us that time to just be with Scott,” Viet says. “I’ll forever be grateful that we could spend his final few minutes with him. I’m sure they’ve been through that experience with other patients, but I’ll never forget their support.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1072354\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"350\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1072354\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FViet-group.jpg\" alt=\"L-R: Quyen (Scott's wife), Chau (Viet's sister), Jeff (Scott's brother), Scott and Viet, at his childhood home in Medford, Mass.\" width=\"350\" height=\"336\" \u002F\u003E Back L-R: Quyen (Scott's wife), Jeff (Scott's brother) and Scott; Front L-R: Chau (Viet's sister) and Viet, at their childhood home in Medford, Mass.[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EHonoring a Legacy\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nViet was captain of the track and field team in high school, running the 1600- and 3200-meter races, so completing his hometown marathon had been a dream for a while. When Viet ran the New York Marathon in November 2023, Quyen, who works for Mass General Brigham, sent him information about the hospital’s \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fevents\u002Fmass-general-marathon-team\u002F\"\u003EBoston Marathon team.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E He signed up right away.\r\n\r\n“The care that Scott received at Mass General Cancer Center was second to none, so I knew we’d be supporting a wonderful cause,” Viet says. “This is the best hospital for people looking to get any kind of treatment, and I hope the money we raise helps outcomes for kids with pediatric cancer.”\r\n\r\nThe marathon will be a little more than a year after Scott’s death. Viet remembers one of Scott’s dying wishes was for the Tran-Nguyen family to stick together and look out for each other, so running alongside Chau and Quyen from Hopkinton to Boylston Street seems like a natural way to fulfill that wish.\r\n\r\n“I’m looking forward to that sense of euphoria that comes with running and seeing the crowds,” Viet says. “We’re doing something that’s very difficult, but having family, friends and the people in my life supporting me, my sister and Quyen is going to be an amazing experience.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003EIf you would like to support Viet, please visit his \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.givengain.com\u002Fproject\u002Fviet-raising-funds-for-massachusetts-general-hospital-66710\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003Efundraising page.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fem\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about Mass General’s marathon team, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fevents\u002Fmass-general-marathon-team\u002F\"\u003Eclick here.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fem\u003E",post_title:"Running in the Family",post_excerpt:"In memory of his cousin Scott, Viet Tran is running the Boston Marathon® with his sister and Scott’s wife to raise funds for pediatric cancer research at Mass General for Children.",post_status:g,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"running-in-the-family",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2024-03-27 13:03:07",post_modified_gmt:"2024-03-27 17:03:07",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:b,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1072270",menu_order:b,post_type:y,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d,acf:{hide_donate_button:c,hide_primary_navigation:c,hide_footer_donate_now:c,hide_from_search:c,enable_override:c,expire_url_redirect:a,GlobalComponentsEditor:c,story_type:{term_id:aC,name:bs,slug:cF,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:aC,taxonomy:_,description:a,parent:b,count:cG,filter:d},where_to_give:[{term_id:bX,name:cv,slug:cw,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:bX,taxonomy:r,description:ex,parent:b,count:ey,filter:d},{term_id:dl,name:nu,slug:nv,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:dl,taxonomy:r,description:nw,parent:b,count:ga,filter:d}],how_to_give:c,template:O,cta_selector:[{ID:1071178,post_author:ac,post_date:"2024-02-06 14:05:39",post_date_gmt:"2024-02-06 19:05:39",post_content:a,post_title:nx,post_excerpt:a,post_status:g,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"how-to-give-cta-copy-copy",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2024-02-06 14:19:19",post_modified_gmt:"2024-02-06 19:19:19",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:b,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?post_type=cta&p=1071178",menu_order:b,post_type:kR,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d}],hero_style:ai,key_takeaways:c,story_sidebar_logo:c,cta_sidebar:c,page_selector:a},image:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fviet-banner.jpg",link:"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fstories\u002Frunning-in-the-family\u002F",category:[{term_id:bv,name:dF,slug:dG,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:bv,taxonomy:dH,description:a,parent:b,count:cX,filter:d,acf:c}],where_to_give:[{term_id:bX,name:cv,slug:cw,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:bX,taxonomy:r,description:ex,parent:b,count:ey,filter:d,acf:{related_tag_page:{ID:hv,post_author:au,post_date:hw,post_date_gmt:hx,post_content:a,post_title:cv,post_excerpt:a,post_status:g,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:cw,to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:hy,post_modified_gmt:hz,post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:aG,guid:hA,menu_order:hB,post_type:n,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d},related_donate_page:c,related_contact_page:c,related_tag_link_type:n,related_donate_link_type:do0,related_contact_link_type:n,related_donate_link:{title:hC,url:hD,target:a}}},{term_id:dl,name:nu,slug:nv,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:dl,taxonomy:r,description:nw,parent:b,count:ga,filter:d,acf:{related_tag_link_type:n,related_tag_page:{ID:1058282,post_author:au,post_date:"2021-06-16 13:33:00",post_date_gmt:"2021-06-16 17:33:00",post_content:"\u003Cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW36952027 BCX0\"\u003EMass General excels in connecting clinical care with research, which makes it the ideal place to bring new discoveries and treatments from the lab bench to the bedside.

After a series of abnormal blood tests and scans, she was called in to the hospital for a meeting with her future oncology team. “The first person who walked into the room was Dr. David Ryan, and he calmly said, ‘You have stage three pancreatic cancer, and we have a clinical trial we’d like to enroll you in,’” Linda recalls. “I’m not sure I heard much after that.”\r\n\r\nBeing from the greater Boston area, Linda knew she would receive high-quality, compassionate care at Mass General. She went home and asked friends and family about the reputations of her cancer care team: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F17127\u002Fdavid-ryan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EDavid Ryan, MD,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Chief of Hematology and Oncology and Clinical Director of Mass General Cancer Center, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F17595\u002Fted-hong\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ETed Hong, MD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, Director of Gastrointestinal Radiation and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F16840\u002Fcarlos-fernandez-del-castillo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ECarlos Fernandez-del Castillo, MD,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Director of the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fsurgery\u002Fgastrointestinal-and-oncologic-surgery\u002Ftreatments-and-services\u002Fpancreas-and-biliary-surgery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EPancreas and Biliary Surgery Program\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.

She now only returns to the hospital for check-ins every three months. Linda credits the work of Drs. Ryan, Hong, and Fernandez-del Castillo with her incredible recovery.\r\n\r\nAfter being successfully treated, Linda and her husband wanted to find a way to thank her care team, and to help provide other patients with the positive treatment experience she’d had. Now cancer-free, she is funding the very same clinical trial that treated her cancer, allowing her doctors to continue the analysis of the results of the trial for an additional three years.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ESupport from All Areas\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nLinda’s treatment at Mass General involved providers from across the hospital — oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, nurses, physical therapists, dietitians and acupuncturists. “It was so wonderful to have all of these amazing services right there where I was receiving treatment. All of the folks that helped care for me were unfailingly kind and thoughtful,” she says.\r\n\r\n“It’s difficult to express this adequately, but I am so incredibly grateful for the high-quality and consistently excellent care I received at Mass General,” she adds. “Every single person I interacted with, even those just stepping in for a moment to help, were thoughtful, attentive, professional and exceptionally good at what they do. They always made me feel taken care of in ways that I know helped me to focus on getting through the difficult times.” Linda is especially grateful to her infusion nurse, Kristin Copenheaver-Smith, RN, who was an integral member of her care team from chemotherapy all the way to immunotherapy infusions, and Melissa Woolwine, NP, of the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Ftreatments-and-services\u002Fgastrointestinal-cancers\u002Fteam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EGastrointestinal Cancers Treatment Team\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, who met with Linda throughout treatment to provide information and support.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Chance to Say Thank You\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nBefore being diagnosed with cancer, Linda began her journey as a Mass General donor giving annually to the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fwhere-to-give\u002Fthe-mgh-fund\u002F\"\u003EMGH Fund,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E and as a member of the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fwhere-to-give\u002Fthe-mgh-fund\u002Fthe-1811-society\u002F\"\u003E1811 Society.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E After receiving compassionate, personalized care from her team of nurses while in treatment, Linda made a gift to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Feveryday-amazing\u002Fcaring-for-a-cure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ECaring For A Cure,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E a nurse-led program at Mass General that aims to improve the journey of patients and families being treated for cancer through research, resources and awareness.

They decided to make a gift, and thanks to the Shermans, the trial and related research are now fully funded for another three years.\r\n\r\n“It would have been such a shame for the trial to end due to lack of funding — the research we’re doing in this area is extremely promising,” says Dr. Hong.\r\n\r\n“We’re just nothing but grateful,” says Linda, her voice full of emotion. “And I hope my story of a positive outcome with the support of Mass General will give hope to others facing a terrible diagnosis.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about how you can support pancreatic cancer research at Mass General, please \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fcontact\u002F?route_to=Jordyn+Rappaport&about=Pancreatic Cancer Research\"\u003Econtact us\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E",post_title:"Pancreatic Cancer Survivor Funds Clinical Trial For Future Patients",post_excerpt:"Linda Sherman was successfully treated for stage three pancreatic cancer at Mass General Cancer Center.

Jenessa recalls the impact of being able to attend lectures at Mass General and Harvard Medical School and to learn of the many different paths she could take to pursue a career in researching health disparities. “I’m interested in understanding the mechanics behind why certain diseases disproportionately affect minority groups, in understanding what’s happening in the body,” she says.\r\n\r\nJenessa explains the impact of listening to researchers of diverse backgrounds discussing their work, and especially other Black female scientists. “I really believe that if you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room,” Jenessa says. “So, while I wasn’t able to understand everything speakers discussed, it was amazing exposure to all of the possibilities in front of me.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Vision for the Future\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nThrough her internship, Sarisha found herself drawn to the role of practicing clinician, something she hadn’t previously thought she wanted to do.\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\"Watching Dr. Moura, a fellow woman of color, interact with patients of different backgrounds, dealing with different diagnoses, and treating them all with so much respect and compassion was beyond inspiring, and confirmed for me that this is what I want to do.”\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nSarisha says shadowing Dr. Moura at her clinic was the moment she knew she wanted to pursue a career as a clinician. “I didn’t expect to have an ‘aha moment,” Sarisha explains, “but watching Dr. Moura, a fellow woman of color, interact with patients of different backgrounds, dealing with different diagnoses, and treating them all with so much respect and compassion was beyond inspiring, and confirmed for me that this is what I want to do.”\r\n\r\nSarisha recalls a particularly impactful moment when Dr. Moura had to deliver the news of an epilepsy diagnosis to a young patient, whose mother began to cry — not because of the news of her child’s diagnosis, she said, but because she was overwhelmed by Dr. Moura’s kindness.\r\n\r\nFor Aya, Jenessa and Sarisha, participating in Mass General’s Youth Neurology Education and Research Program made a deep impact on their paths forward — helping confirm their passions while strengthening their skills and building their networks for success.\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about how you can support the Youth Neurology Education and Research Program, please \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fcontact\u002F?route_to=Tara+Brady&about=Youth Neurology Education and Research Program\"\u003Econtact us\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E",post_title:"Youth Neurology Program Inspires Students to Pursue Their Passions",post_excerpt:"Students in Mass General’s Youth Neurology Education and Research Program learn and work alongside esteemed clinicians, researchers and peer mentors, giving them the chance to explore future career options in neurology.",post_status:g,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"youth-neurology-program-inspires-students-to-pursue-their-passions",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2024-03-29 12:32:33",post_modified_gmt:"2024-03-29 16:32:33",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:b,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1072238",menu_order:b,post_type:y,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d,acf:{hide_from_search:c,hide_donate_button:c,hide_primary_navigation:c,hide_footer_donate_now:c,enable_override:c,template:O,expire_url_redirect:a,cta_selector:a,hero_style:ai,key_takeaways:c,story_sidebar_logo:c,cta_sidebar:c,page_selector:[{ID:1064261,post_author:or,post_date:"2022-11-02 21:50:44",post_date_gmt:"2022-11-03 01:50:44",post_content:"Since it \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fstories\u002Fopening-new-doors-to-neurology-careers\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003Elaunched\u003C\u002Fa\u003E in 2020, the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fneurology\u002Feducation-and-training\u002Fyouth-research-and-education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EYouth Neurology Education and Research Program\u003C\u002Fa\u003E at \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMassachusetts General Hospital\u003C\u002Fa\u003E focuses on increasing diversity in the neurology workforce, making the field more representative of people living with neurological disease.

This program is made possible by a charitable partnership with the Biogen Foundation, primary funder for the past three years, whose support has led to additional funding in the program’s third year from Massachusetts Life Sciences Center.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1041688\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1041688\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn3.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FNicte-Mejia-headshot_cropped_220_220.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Nicte Mejia, MD, MPH, FAAN[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\nThe program offers high school and undergraduate students the opportunity to spend a summer working and learning alongside neuroscientists at Mass General. These students have the chance to conduct impactful, real-world research, shadow clinical faculty in their areas of interest, hone their leadership skills, become part of a diverse professional network, and engage in longitudinal career support. Formal salaried employment reduces the financial barriers often precluding participation in a competitive internship. All interns have access to longitudinal professional development support, including help as they apply to college, graduate school, or jobs. Program staff often serve as a resource for students using LinkedIn, writing cover letters, polishing personal statements, and determining how to tactfully consider job or educational opportunities. There is also funding available to help cover career related expenses, such as standardized exams like the medical college admission test (MCAT). Beginning in 2022, all interns received food and travel stipends recognizing the added cost of in-person participation in this program.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EEvolving to Eliminate Barriers\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nProgram director \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F18517\u002Fnicte-mejia-gonzalez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ENicte Mejia, MD, MPH, FAAN,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E and coordinators work directly with students to proactively identify their goals, needs and concerns, and continually tailor program offerings based on what they learn.\r\n\r\nAs she prepared for 2022 as the program’s first in-person year, Sarah Micucci, former program coordinator who is now a medical student, noted that many internship applicants were expressing concerns about not having workplace-appropriate attire. With this feedback, Sarah reached out to second-hand clothing stores in the community, ultimately partnering with Thrifty Threads in Brookline, to gather clothes donations appropriate for the incoming group of summer interns.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1064270\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"350\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1064270\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn3.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fclothes-donation.jpg\" alt=\"A room filled with clothes donations for program participants seeking workplace-appropriate attire.\" width=\"350\" height=\"174\" \u002F\u003E A room filled with clothes donations for program participants seeking workplace-appropriate attire.[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\n“This program helped remove the indirect cost of trying to learn — it allowed me to stop thinking about outside worries and just focus on going to work and making a positive impact,” says Adam Khanboubi, an undergraduate participant in the program. With a goal to become a neurospine specialist, Adam also hopes to one day launch a foundation of his own that works to address racial disparities in neurological research.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EThe Importance of Representation\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nThe values and goals of the program also extend to the program staff themselves, largely comprised of future health professionals of backgrounds underrepresented in neurology, sharing similar identities with the program participants they work with. The 88 interns who participated in this program in 2020-2022 predominantly identify as female or non-binary (73%), Black, Latinx, or Indigenous (83%), immigrant (34%), and first-generation students (83%), representing communities disproportionately affected by neurologic disease and largely underrepresented in the neurology workforce. Program staff understand where they’re coming from and the obstacles they face and serve as a safe space for students to express themselves without fear of judgement.\r\n\r\nJanani Ganesh, high school program participant, explains, “I live in a community where everyone has a parent in medicine, but mine aren’t familiar with health care. So, to find community, and other people who understood my experience and what it was like to be the first person in their family to pursue medicine, was really impactful.” Janani hopes to become a neurosurgeon and work for the United Nations providing care to people in war-torn countries.

She plans to attend Union College in New York on a full scholarship in the fall of 2021. “I find that inspiring and I like that I get to prove myself,” Adrianna says. “I feel really grateful that I had this internship.

Isselbacher, MD, MSC[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Lifetime of Adventure\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nLane first began experiencing irregular heartbeats in 2003 while training for a triathlon. At one point, he had rapid heartbeats that reached a frightening 300 beats per minute. Doctors performed an ablation, which burns or freezes sections inside the heart to create small scars that break up electrical signals that cause irregular heartbeats. The ablation was unsuccessful, so Lane received a pacemaker and defibrillator, along with an official diagnosis of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia — irregular heartbeats without a real explanation — and he kept competing in half marathons and triathlons. The defibrillator malfunctioned a few years later, so he had it removed and underwent another ablation. This time, the procedure was successful.\r\n\r\nFast forward to late 2022, and Lane began experiencing strange cardiac sensations again while running. He wore a monitor to record his heart’s rhythm and had an echocardiogram, which revealed a sizable aortic aneurysm. His cardiologist in Newburyport referred Lane to Dr. Isselbacher, who told him that he needed surgery.\r\n\r\n“I told him that I was already planning the trip to Aconcagua and that I still wanted to go,” Lane says. “He told me that I was in good shape, and I could recover from this well. So, we counted backward from when I was planning to be in South America, and that’s when we scheduled the surgery.”\r\n\r\n“Lane leads an active life, and he wanted to continue to lead an active life. We wanted to make that possible for him,” says Dr. Isselbacher. “A huge part of our ‘whole patient approach’ is about meeting patients where they are.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1072224\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1072224\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FSundtHS.jpg\" alt=\"Thor Sundt, MD\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Thor Sundt, MD[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ECrawl, Walk, Run\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nDr. Sundt successfully performed open-heart surgery in October 2022 to replace Lane’s bulging ascending aorta with a synthetic graft. Dr. Sundt told Lane he would likely be back to 80% of his fitness six weeks after surgery, 90% by six months and then, back to his normal physical abilities a year post-operation. With the approval of his care team, Lane was walking three to five miles a day two weeks after the surgery and ran a 5K at the six-week mark — his eyes trained on Aconcagua.\r\n\r\n“I was so grateful that Mass General had people on staff willing to talk to a crazy adventure athlete who wanted to push his recovery,” Lane says. “They consulted with me, looked at my baseline fitness and age profile and told me how much I could do.”\r\n\r\n“For me, cardiac surgery is about more than saving lives,” Dr. Sundt says. “It’s about returning patients to the lives they love.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA New Kind of Summit\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nWhen December 2023 arrived, and Lane was about to climb Aconcagua, he felt more anxious than he had in the past. “I’ve been on lots of mountains, but I’ve never been up one after open-heart surgery, and I’ve never been up one as high as Aconcagua,” he says. “The oxygen level is only about one-third of what it is at sea level. I didn’t know how my body would perform, even without the open-heart surgery.”\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E“From beginning to end, from the time I was referred there through post-operative care, every nurse, physician and staff member I encountered was friendly, understanding, responsive and skillful.\"\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nBut his body did perform. Lane’s recovery and training had gone so well that the surgery didn’t cross his mind. His labored breathing was due to the high altitude, just like everyone else’s. And even though high winds and freezing temperatures stopped Lane and the other climbers right below the summit, he still considered the trip a success.\r\n\r\n“I know that attitude can’t overcome degenerative physical illness, but it can absolutely aid in recovery,” says Lane. “I’ve been a lifelong optimist, and I think that helped me build confidence for a swift recovery. A positive attitude coupled with skilled care, which Mass General certainly provides, means a lot when it comes to putting one foot in front of the other.”\r\n\r\nLane and his brothers are debating a return to Aconcagua to reach the summit, or possibly heading to Denali in Alaska. Wherever his next adventure takes him, he’s grateful to Mass General’s Heart Center team for putting him back on the road less traveled.\r\n\r\n“From beginning to end, from the time I was referred there through post-operative care, every nurse, physician and staff member I encountered was friendly, understanding, responsive and skillful,” Lane says. “It’s been the best experience I could have had for something as intimidating and frightening as heart surgery.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about making a gift to the Corrigan Minehan Heart Center, please \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fcontact\u002F?route_to=Christina+Ferraiola&about=Heart Center\"\u003Econtact us\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E",post_title:"The Heart of an Athlete",post_excerpt:"Roughly a year after his surgery at Mass General for an aortic aneurysm, Lane Glenn still achieved the adventure of a lifetime: climbing Argentina’s Mount Aconcagua.",post_status:g,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"the-heart-of-an-athlete",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2024-06-12 09:17:49",post_modified_gmt:"2024-06-12 13:17:49",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:b,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1072209",menu_order:b,post_type:y,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d,acf:{hide_donate_button:c,hide_primary_navigation:c,hide_footer_donate_now:c,hide_from_search:c,enable_override:c,expire_url_redirect:a,GlobalComponentsEditor:c,story_type:{term_id:ct,name:eq,slug:eN,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:ct,taxonomy:_,description:a,parent:b,count:br,filter:d},where_to_give:[{term_id:cu,name:di,slug:gl,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:cu,taxonomy:r,description:gm,parent:b,count:gn,filter:d}],how_to_give:c,template:O,cta_selector:a,hero_style:ai,key_takeaways:c,story_sidebar_logo:c,cta_sidebar:c,page_selector:a,swiftype_keywords:a,custom_swiftype_boost:a},image:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FLane-hiking.jpg",link:"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fstories\u002Fthe-heart-of-an-athlete\u002F",category:[{term_id:bv,name:dF,slug:dG,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:bv,taxonomy:dH,description:a,parent:b,count:cX,filter:d,acf:c}],where_to_give:[{term_id:cu,name:di,slug:gl,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:cu,taxonomy:r,description:gm,parent:b,count:gn,filter:d,acf:{related_tag_link_type:n,related_tag_page:{ID:oD,post_author:au,post_date:oE,post_date_gmt:oF,post_content:a,post_title:di,post_excerpt:a,post_status:g,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:hl,to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:oG,post_modified_gmt:oH,post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:aG,guid:oI,menu_order:oJ,post_type:n,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d},related_donate_link_type:do0,related_donate_page:c,related_contact_link_type:n,related_contact_page:c,related_donate_link:{title:oK,url:oL,target:a}}}],story_type:[{term_id:ct,name:eq,slug:eN,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:ct,taxonomy:_,description:a,parent:b,count:br,filter:d,acf:c}],pp_notify_user:[{term_id:go,name:gp,slug:gp,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:go,taxonomy:bY,description:a,parent:b,count:oM,filter:d,acf:c},{term_id:bw,name:dI,slug:dp,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:bw,taxonomy:bY,description:a,parent:b,count:dJ,filter:d,acf:c}],author:[{term_id:ez,name:hE,slug:hF,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:ez,taxonomy:cL,description:a,parent:b,count:dl,filter:d,acf:c}]}}},campaign:{takeover_hero:s,expiration_start_date:"November 12, 2024 5:00 am",expiration_date:"December 3, 2024 11:59 pm",hero_campaign:{headline:"Giving Tuesday is December 3",description:"Don't wait!

breast cancer left her in disbelief. She was 23 years old, working with children with autism and on the verge of starting graduate school. But, if her breast cancer diagnosis was a surprise, what came next was a shock wave — and one that her team deftly managed thanks to the coordination between cancer treatment and genetics at the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Fabout\u002Fcommunity-locations\u002Fwaltham\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ECancer Early Detection and Diagnostics Clinic\u003C\u002Fa\u003E at \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Fabout\u002Fcommunity-locations\u002Fwaltham\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General Cancer Center's Waltham location\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\r\n\r\n“When my biopsy came back as cancer, the Mass General team was like, ‘We’ll see you tomorrow,’” says Elizabeth. “They told me I was way too young for this to happen, and they knew something else was going on.”\r\n\r\nAs part of the program’s multidisciplinary approach, Elizabeth underwent genetic testing that revealed a rare mutation — affecting about one in 200,000 people — in her PTEN gene. That gene provides instructions for making an enzyme that is found in almost all tissues in the body. The enzyme acts as a tumor suppressor, which means that it helps regulate cell division by keeping cells from growing and dividing too rapidly or in an uncontrolled way. Elizabeth’s mutation meant that she was at risk for more than the breast cancer already in her body. She was also at risk for endometrial, colon and thyroid cancer.\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F17464\u002Fbeverly-moy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EBeverly Moy, MD, MPH\u003C\u002Fa\u003E and the team at Mass General considered this knowledge to be power over Elizabeth’s potential illnesses. They had what they needed to come up with a plan.\r\n\r\n“Dr. Moy said to me on my first visit, ‘You and I are going to grow old together,’” Elizabeth says. “She’s been with me through it all. In that first appointment, you’re so overwhelmed, so to have someone like that at your side is awesome.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1066662\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"350\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1066662 size-full\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn3.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FElizabeth-Murphy-inline.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"410\" \u002F\u003E Elizabeth underwent 17 rounds of chemotherapy and 25 rounds of radiation to treat her breast cancer.

In Elizabeth’s case, the specific genetic makeup of her mutation had never been recorded before, so her genetic counselor took extra time to run the results and explain them to Elizabeth.\r\n\r\n“What I appreciate most about this model is our expedited access to top experts in cancer evaluation and high-risk genetics,” Dr. Moy says. “It provides the best quality care for patients like Elizabeth, since she has a coordinated approach in managing her complex cancer screening and detection needs.”\r\n\r\nElizabeth underwent 17 rounds of chemotherapy and 25 rounds of radiation to treat her breast cancer. She also had surgery to perform a double mastectomy with reconstruction and remove 24 lymph nodes.\r\n\r\n“Since my cancer was already spreading to my lymph nodes, the fact that the team jumped on it so quickly saved my life,” Elizabeth says. She was diagnosed on April 27, 2021, and her first chemotherapy infusion was a few days later on May 4.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1066666\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1066666\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn3.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FMoyWaltham.jpg\" alt=\"Beverly Moy, MD, MPH\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Beverly Moy, MD, MPH[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\n“When I met with Dr. Moy, she said, ‘I’m throwing everything at you. You’re way too young to have to deal with this long term. I’m looking to cure you,’” Elizabeth continues. “I really appreciated her because she told everything to me straight. She told me it was going to be a very intense regimen of chemo, but it was going to stop the cancer from progressing and metastasizing. It was a huge game changer that made the difference between whether we were going to cure this or whether I was going to be dealing with it for the rest of my life.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003E“Their priority is to take care of \u003Cem\u003Eyou\u003C\u002Fem\u003E.”\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nTo manage her risk of developing other cancers, Elizabeth has an endometrial biopsy once a year, a thyroid scan once a year and a colonoscopy every three years. She finished her active treatments for breast cancer in April 2022 and is on an oral medication to lessen her chances of a recurrence. Elizabeth also picked up her graduate school dream again: she is about to graduate from Boston College with a master’s degree in social work, only a summer behind her planned timeline.\r\n\r\nAt 23, Elizabeth often felt isolated when it came to her cancer experience — there weren’t many other young adults going through what she was. To share her experience, she participated in Mass General’s cancer mentorship program and connected with a 32-year-old who lives with the same genetic mutation. Elizabeth also hopes to volunteer with pediatric cancer patients once she finishes school.\r\n\r\n“I want others to know that they’re not alone in this,” Elizabeth says. “Finding a patient community is huge. I tell people to ask every single question that comes into your brain, because you’re not the first person to ask this question — the doctors here have heard it all.

Over the years, nurses have studied ways they can deliver family-centered care for cardiac patients; defined the trajectory for recovery from cardiac surgery to reflect an individual’s goals; and explored non-pharmacological nursing interventions to reduce stress in cardiac patients.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EThe Positive Power of Music\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nDr. Carroll’s own most recent study is measuring the effects of music on cardiac surgery patients.\r\n\r\n“Cardiac surgery inpatients are susceptible to numerous stressful factors, including fear, pain, sleeplessness, communication problems and the inability to relax in such an alien environment,” Dr. Carroll says. “Current practice to alleviate these stressful factors involves the administration of sedatives and pain medications that are thought to increase hospital length of stay. While previous studies of the impact of music on serum cortisol — the stress response hormone — have been mixed, there has not been a consideration of the parallel psychological, physical and neuroendocrine effects of music.”\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\"Reducing patients' pain and anxiety helps put them on a strong footing toward a quicker recovery and a return home.\"\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nThe study, which aims to enroll 80 patients, measures all those responses in each patient to a 30-minute music intervention, consisting of symphonic and nature sounds. Early results showed positive impact of music on patients in the cardiac surgery critical care unit.\r\n\r\n“Reducing patients' pain and anxiety helps put them on a strong footing toward a quicker recovery and a return home,” says Dr. Carroll.\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fnursing-patientcare\u002Fabout\u002Fleadership\u002Fgaurdia-banister\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EGaurdia Banister, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Director of the Yvonne L.

changer.\r\n\r\n“Managing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is overwhelming,” says Noreen, whose husband David has been living with the fatal disease since 2020. “The opportunity to have a nurse provide comforting care in our home allows David to maintain his dignity, while reducing the stress around spending an entire day getting in and out of the city for an appointment in the clinic.”\r\n\r\nThe Daniella Lipper ALS House Calls Program — established by the EGL Charitable Foundation and named after Daniella Lipper, a patient of ALS clinician \u003Ca

nurse practitioners who visit homes in Massachusetts to provide medical, emotional and social support to ALS patients and their loved ones.\r\n\r\nThe nursing team delivers expert medical care that includes taking vitals, symptom management and support, cleaning or changing feeding tubes or checking ventilation machines that support breathing. The team also shares information about research opportunities. The program is carried out in conjunction with Compassionate Care ALS, a non-profit organization that evaluates equipment needs, gives free wheelchairs and other equipment and helps patients add ramps and lifts to improve access to their home.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EDelivering Better-Than-Standard Care\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\n“The House Calls Program allows us to deliver care the way it should be delivered,” says \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F19109\u002Fjames-berry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EJames D. Berry, MD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, who sees patients with ALS while serving as the Williamson Winthrop ALS Scholar, Averill Healey Endowed Chair in ALS and chief of the Motor Neuron Division at Mass General. “Bringing ALS care into the home allows us to provide better-than-standard care, reduces medical isolation and improves patients’ connection to our clinic by providing more frequent touchpoints.”\r\n\r\n“The impact this program has on our patients is immeasurable,” says Jen Scalia, NP, who directs the ALS House Calls program and co-directs the ALS Multidisciplinary Care Clinic at Mass General. “It provides the kind of holistic care we know improves quality of life for individuals living with ALS.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EHome Visits Augmented with Virtual Visits\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nThe Crandalls receive a House Call once every three months and as needed. They also have virtual visits with Dr. Berry. However, almost none of the services offered through the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=HxBEXesJwnA&t=13s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EHouse Calls Program\u003C\u002Fa\u003E are covered by insurance.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1071669\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"350\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1071669 size-full\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fcrandall-family.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" \u002F\u003E The Crandall family.[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\n“The EGL Charitable Foundation’s extraordinary gift ensures this amazing program will always be available to our patients,” says Dr. Berry. “We are all truly humbled by the Lipper family’s thoughtful commitment to others living with ALS.”\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E“The House Calls program is not just about convenience for patients. It is the complement to personalized medicine — namely, personalized care.”\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\n“We work closely with our patients to develop innovative new programs,” says Dr. Cudkowicz, who, in addition to caring for patients like Daniella, serves as chair of the Neurology Department and director of the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fneurology\u002Fals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ESean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS\u003C\u002Fa\u003E at Mass General. “Daniella had this brilliant idea, and Dr. Berry and our team came up with a plan, but we could not have made it a reality without the EGL Charitable Foundation’s generosity.”\r\n\r\n“The House Calls program is not just about convenience for patients. It is the complement to personalized medicine — namely, personalized care,” says Daniella Lipper. “Absent any treatments to cure ALS, or even to make it a chronic but manageable disease, such care must remain the focus of any treatment plan.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ESeeing the Person Beyond the Disease\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nFor the nurses who care for individuals with ALS, the opportunity to meet people in their home environment is an eye-opening experience.\r\n\r\n“I am able to see who they really are: wonderful people outside of their illness,” says Kristen Kingsley, RN, who has been with the program since its launch seven years ago, but who has worked with ALS patients throughout her 20-year career as a nurse. “I see their family photos on the wall, learn about their hobbies, their children, their pets.”\r\n\r\nAs ALS progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult for individuals to leave their home. Challenges include lack of transportation, access to technology and difficulty navigating areas with limited accessibility.\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E“The generosity of EGL Charitable Foundation sustains the program and allows us to think about ways to expand it to other areas across the country and around the world.”\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\n“David’s disease affected his diaphragm, so we needed a breathing machine and did some voice banking to support his communication needs,” says Noreen. “But, as the disease progressed, he lost control of the muscles in his neck, requiring his head to be strapped in to remain upright, making it difficult to travel comfortably, let alone navigating his wheelchair or trying to use the bathroom in an unfamiliar place.”\r\n\r\n“The generosity of the EGL Charitable Foundation sustains the program and allows us to think about ways to expand it to other areas across the country and around the world,” says Dr. Berry.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EPACT Program Provides Parent Guidance\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nIn addition to the House Calls Program, the EGL Charitable Foundation also supports the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Fpatient-and-family-resources\u002Fsupportive-care\u002Fpact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EParenting at a Challenging Time (PACT) Program\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, which offers guidance to help parents and grandparents talk about ALS with children and young adults in the family. The PACT team also helps parents to identify ways to support children’s coping with changes in a parent’s mobility, speech and breathing, and to address children’s anticipatory grief.\r\n\r\nBecause Kristen is a consistent visitor, the Crandalls have come to trust her advice and deeply appreciate her care.\r\n\r\n“Kristen has been our beacon of hope,” Noreen says. “She coaches us on how to stay in front of this disease. She is David’s biggest advocate, and knowing we can rely on her has made such a difference in our ability to handle decisions we have to make.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003EMake a gift to the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fdonate?re_fund=231144&is_designation=1&designation=ALS%20House%20Call%20Program\"\u003EDaniella Lipper ALS House Call Program\u003C\u002Fa\u003E or the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fdonate\u002Fals-pact-program\"\u003EDaniella Lipper ALS PACT Program\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.

Football built our family home on a beautiful lake and paid for land for our kids to build their own homes nearby.\r\n\r\nMy second childhood dream was to become a writer. Since the third grade, I’ve thought books are magic. They take me away to another time and place, they make me laugh and cry, and in their heroes I see something I want to be.

Jason also remembered sleepovers with other friends at Chris’s farm, when Chris was the only one willing to fish with him at 5 a.m.\r\n\r\nChris often looked after people, Jason recalls. On a trip to Colorado, it was Chris who helped Jason while they were mountain-biking.\r\n\r\n“Instead of going on with the others and having a good time on the mountain, going fast and doing jumps, I remember Chris stayed right behind me, just to make sure I wouldn’t fall or get hurt, and to push me on, which was really kind,” Jason says.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EFishing to Help People Living with ALS\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nAfter their visit in August 2020, Jason and his mother, Tracy, wanted to find a way to help Chris. Since a love for fishing was something that Jason and Chris shared, Jason decided to use his qualification in a national fishing tournament as a fundraiser to rally the Chapel Hill community to help Chris and other people living with ALS.\r\n\r\nJason and Tracy quickly got to work. They contacted officials at the Big Bass Zone Junior Championship, who agreed to help publicize their fundraiser and they connected with Mass General’s Development Office to set up a \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fbecause.massgeneral.org\u002Fevent\u002Ffishing-for-als-warriors\u002Fe302558\"\u003EBeCause fundraising webpage.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Tracy came up with the idea of people pledging a per-pound donation based on the size of the fish Jason caught.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ECommunity Supports ALS Fundraiser\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nThey announced the fundraiser through emails and social media posts including Instagram fishing posts to Jason’s followers and on Tracy’s Facebook page where she publishes inspirational stories. People said they appreciated the fundraiser because it gave them a way to help the Smith family, Tracy says. She contacted local media and the story ran in local newspapers, and Jason spoke about the fundraiser during a video interview at the bass tournament in October.\r\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"pull-quote-blockquote\"\u003E\"Fundraising was a lovely way for an entire community to put our arms around a family going through a really hard time.\"\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nJason had dreamed of winning the tournament’s grand prize of a bass fishing boat, but the sparkling clear, lake waters in Idaho proved challenging for Jason who was more at ease in Carolina’s murky lakes. Still, he caught a two-pounder and raised $15,000 for the Healey Center. Jason says he has more to learn about fishing but is glad his efforts will help Chris and others.\r\n\r\nTracy is proud of how Jason tried fundraising. At first, she felt daunted trying to help him, but soon learned fundraising is easy and rewarding, when you believe in the mission.\r\n\r\n“When something like this happens, it’s hard to know what you can do to help someone,” Tracy says. “Fundraising was a lovely way for an entire community to put our arms around a family going through a really hard time.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003EYou can help scientists discover new treatments for people living with ALS, with a donation to the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fdonate\u002Fhealey-center\u002F\"\u003ESean M.

Funded through philanthropy, the program is designed to provide exceptional early- and mid-career investigators with the funding they need to make transformative advances in their research.\r\n\r\nThis new application of PET ligands, described in the online journal \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Felifesciences.org\u002Farticles\u002F45457\"\u003EeLife\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, could have broad implications for the treatment and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and other tau-related diseases such as frontotemporal dementia (FTD).\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ETau and Dementia\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nIn healthy brains, tau is believed to stabilize the shape and function of brain cells — but in its mutant form, tau can accumulate, restricting the flow of the electrical and chemical signals the brain uses to communicate and ultimately causing the death of the affected cells.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1017121\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"400\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1017121\" src=\"\u002F\u002Fcdn.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Ftau-3.jpg\" alt=\"On the left, a cell culture taken from a patient with dementia, with the mutant tau highlighted in red.

That changed with introduction of tau-specific PET ligands, which enable researchers to visualize the density and location of tau deposits in patient brains. This capacity to visualize tau-related disease in living patients caught Dr. Haggarty’s attention.\r\n\r\nTo target mutant tau, Dr. Haggarty and his colleagues started with a tau-specific PET ligand. But instead of adding the radioactive molecule required for a PET scan, they added a second ligand designed to attract an enzyme called the ubiquitin E3 ligase. The ubiquitin E3 ligase tags damaged or aberrant proteins for destruction by the body’s cellular recycling and disposal system. Together, these two ligands create a “degrader” molecule that seeks out mutant tau and marks it for elimination.\r\n\r\nThe team tested their approach in cell cultures derived from patients with frontotemporal dementia caused by tau mutations. The new compound worked with surprising efficiency — clearing 90% of tau in a matter of hours.\r\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"pull-quote-blockquote\"\u003EDr. Haggarty believes additional philanthropic investment will help unlock the full potential of this new therapeutic approach.\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\n“For a protein like tau, which was traditionally considered undruggable, this unprecedented level of speed and precision opens up exciting new avenues for targeted therapy,” says Catarina Silva, PhD, co-first author of the study. This strategy of targeted protein degradation has gotten a lot of attention in oncology, but according to Dr. Haggarty, this is the first demonstration of the technique in human neurons. The team is now testing the approach in other neurodegenerative disease including Parkinson’s disease, ALS and Huntington’s disease.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EInspiration from Oncology\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nDr. Haggarty believes that the success of this new approach is due to the fact the team tested the degrader molecules using patient-derived cells to produce genetically accurate models.\r\n\r\nThe team’s focus now shifts to refining and optimizing the degrader molecules for the clinic — and that means investment in drug development. Their work to date has received generous support from the Tau Consortium, a research program funded and managed by the Rainwater Charitable Trust, but Dr. Haggarty believes that additional philanthropic investment will help unlock the full potential of this new therapeutic approach.\r\n\r\n“You’ll see a degrader molecule in the clinic in a matter of years,” Dr. Haggarty says. “It’s not a matter of if, but when with this exciting new therapeutic modality.”\r\n\u003Cem\u003E\r\nTo learn more about how you can support the work of researchers like Dr. Haggarty or the MGH Research Scholars program, please \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fcontact\u002F?route_to=\u002FSusan+Buchanan&about=Research+Institute\"\u003Econtact us\u003C\u002Fa\u003E. \u003C\u002Fem\u003E\r\n\u003Cdiv class=\"well\"\u003E\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EThe Research Institute: Saving Lives Through Science\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\n\u003Cimg class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-77504\" src=\"\u002F\u002Fmghrebuildprod.wpengine.com\u002Fassets\u002FMGHRI_220a-220x66-1.png\" alt=\"mghri_220a\" width=\"220\" height=\"66\" \u002F\u003EThe Massachusetts General Hospital Research Institute is the largest hospital-based research program in the United States, with a community of more than 8,500 people working across more than 30 institutes, centers and departments.\r\n\r\nOur researchers work side-by-side with physicians to pioneer the latest scientific advancements for curing disease and healing patients in Boston, across the United States and around the world.\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about the Research Institute, please visit \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fresearch\u002F\"\u003Eour website\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E",post_title:kF,post_excerpt:kG,post_status:g,comment_status:aa,ping_status:aa,post_password:a,post_name:"researchers-target-dementia-protein",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2022-09-29 10:15:30",post_modified_gmt:"2022-09-29 14:15:30",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:b,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fresearchers-target-dementia-protein\u002F",menu_order:270,post_type:y,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d,acf:{hero_style:ai,start_date:f,override_global_call_to_action:c,footer_donate_overwrite:c,enable_override:c,expire_url_redirect:a,template:O,cta_selector:a,key_takeaways:c,story_sidebar_logo:c,page_selector:a,story_type:{term_id:W,name:aS,slug:cc,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:W,taxonomy:_,description:a,parent:b,count:bu,filter:d},where_to_give:[{term_id:S,name:aB,slug:bk,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:S,taxonomy:r,description:aR,parent:b,count:bl,filter:d},{term_id:ha,name:"Health and Wellness",slug:"health-wellness",term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:ha,taxonomy:r,description:aR,parent:b,count:cu,filter:d},{term_id:$,name:bd,slug:be,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:$,taxonomy:r,description:bR,parent:b,count:bS,filter:d},{term_id:cq,name:el,slug:em,term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:cq,taxonomy:r,description:eJ,parent:b,count:eK,filter:d},{term_id:hb,name:"Psychiatry",slug:"psychiatry",term_group:b,term_taxonomy_id:hb,taxonomy:r,description:"\u003Cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW227757035 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW227757035 BCX0\"\u003EWe\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW227757035 BCX0\"\u003E'\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW227757035 BCX0\"\u003Ere committed to acting fearlessly and creatively to shape the future of mental health care.\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW227757035 BCX0\"\u003E \u003C\u002Fspan\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW227757035 BCX0\"\u003EWe seek to transform the mental health landscape with bold approaches\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW227757035 BCX0\"\u003E.

Scientists do not know what causes ALS in the vast majority of cases, and there is no current effective treatment for the disease. Every year, approximately 150,000 people are diagnosed with ALS – one nearly every three minutes.

Just five months after his first meeting with Dr. Cudkowicz, Mr. Healey, together with his colleagues and friends, established the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fals\u002Fhealeycenter\u002F\"\u003ESean M. Healey and AMG Center for ALS\u003C\u002Fa\u003E at Mass General to focus on finding a cure for this dreadful disease.\r\n\r\n“There is an enormous advantage in having Mass General, the leading hospital research facility in the world, be the home for this research,” Mr. Healey says. “My vision for the Healey Center is that it will allow Dr. Cudkowicz and her team to build on the tremendous progress they have already made and provide a platform for global efforts to combat this disease.”\r\n\r\nThis challenge, and the opportunity to make a difference, inspired Mr. Healey to establish the Healey Center. After many decades of limited progress on ALS research, recent advances in brain research and a broad set of promising therapeutics have made the prospect of effective treatment and ultimately a cure for ALS more realistic.\r\n\r\n“We are at an inflection point in ALS research where increased research funding will make a huge impact on the speed and likelihood of finding effective treatments,” Dr. Cudkowicz says.\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fals\u002Fhealeycenter\u002F\"\u003E\u003Cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1014839\" src=\"\u002F\u002Fcdn.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FHealey-Logo-6b-300x77.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"77\" \u002F\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ESeeing the Big Picture\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nChallenges are nothing new for Mr. Healey. As an undergraduate student-athlete at Harvard (he was a wrestler), he was told he should be satisfied with B’s and C’s. Instead, Healey made Phi Beta Kappa. After becoming an editor at the Harvard Law Review, he decided a career in law wasn’t for him. Then, as a 32-year-old executive in the Mergers and Acquisitions group at Goldman Sachs, he decided to join AMG, then a small startup. From 1995, he built the boutique investment management company into a global powerhouse that manages more than $800 billion in assets from 39 partner firms. Now, he hopes to use that experience to accelerate the search for a cure for ALS.\r\n\r\n“It is tragically ironic that my beloved brother, who my family thinks of as an invincible superman, received this diagnosis,” says Regan Healey Asnes, Mr. Healey’s younger sister. “But my brother always accomplishes what he sets out to do, so I am sure that together with Merit Cudkowicz, he will play a key role in helping to defeat ALS.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1014847\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"450\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1014847\" src=\"\u002F\u002Fcdn.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FMerit-Cudkowicz-Giving-1-1024x802.jpg\" alt=\"Merit Cudkowicz, MD, chief of Neurology at Mass General and director of the Sean M.

She says her patients and their families inspire her to overcome research barriers and work toward the cure.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EThe Power of Collaborative Networks\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nIn addition to her own research and patient care, Dr. Cudkowicz and her team at Mass General have been tireless in their efforts to create collaborative networks – across North America and around the world – to encourage and accelerate research and increase patient access to experimental treatments. She created the first trial network in ALS, called \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.neals.org\u002Fabout-us\u002Four-mission\u002F\"\u003ENEALS\u003C\u002Fa\u003E. The network now consists of 137 centers around the world collaborating on developing treatments for ALS.\r\n\r\nWithin a month after his diagnosis, Mr. Healey and his longtime friend and AMG board member Patrick T. Ryan, began talking to Dr. Cudkowicz about how to leverage her existing network and the research at Mass General to expand the efforts to find a cure.\r\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"pull-quote-blockquote\"\u003E“Providing smart people with the support they need to pursue the best ideas ensures success.”\r\n— Sean Healey\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\n“At first, you imagine all you can do is give money,” Mr. Healey says, “and while that is crucial, it became clear that there are also enormous structural, organizational, financial and even legal issues that need to be factored in to the creation of an enterprise like this. The opportunity to provide guidance, support and insight from my entrepreneurial experience building a successful business has been quite fulfilling.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Center Devoted to New Therapies\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nIn November 2018, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fhealey-gift-sparks-als-effort\u002F\"\u003Ewith an initial gift of $40 million from AMG and friends, family and colleagues, the Sean M.

The SAC members come from Asia, Europe and North America and will guide strategic decisions of the Healey Center.\r\n\r\n“We have a pipeline of promising therapeutics,” says Dr. Cudkowicz. “But historically, clinical trials in ALS evaluate only one drug at a time, leading to high costs and lengthy start-up and execution times. The Healey Center will dramatically change this paradigm by launching the first platform trial initiative in ALS.”\r\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"pull-quote-blockquote\"\u003E“The enthusiasm around our new approaches is so encouraging,” Dr. Cudkowicz says.\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nPlatform trials allow multiple drugs to be tested in parallel, using specialized statistical tools. New drugs can be added as they become available, decreasing or eliminating the gap in time from identification of a therapy to testing. Platform trials have already led to effective treatments in the cancer field and Dr. Cudkowicz is confident this success can be replicated in ALS research.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EEnthusiasm for Center’s New Approach\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nSeveral weeks after the first SAC meeting, the members met with more than a dozen pharmaceutical companies to discuss partnerships in developing therapies for ALS. The first platform trial will begin later this year and test three therapies.\r\n\r\n“The enthusiasm around our new approaches is so encouraging,” Dr. Cudkowicz says. “One byproduct of this enthusiasm is the interest we are seeing from researchers and pharmaceutical companies working on other neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. There is enormous potential for researchers working with the Healey Center to discover promising treatments for these disorders, too.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_114506\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-114506\" src=\"\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FALS-box-220x220-2-220x220.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Read more about ALS research and care at Mass General:\u003Cbr \u002F\u003E• \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Frare-als-form-studied\u002F\"\u003E ALS: Rare Form of Disease Studied for Clues\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003Cbr \u002F\u003E• \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fals-house-call-program\u002F\"\u003E ALS House Call Program Sets New Care Standard\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003Cbr \u002F\u003E• \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fresearchers-explore-als-genetics\u002F\"\u003E ALS: Disease Models are Key Step Toward Therapy\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003Cbr \u002F\u003E• \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Ffamily-fights-als-together\u002F\"\u003E A Family Takes on ALS\u003C\u002Fa\u003E[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\nThe SAC members also stressed the critical need to attract the best and brightest researchers from a range of scientific backgrounds to focus on ALS.

This allows the body to better metabolize food and can help patients lose weight. It may have other benefits, too, such as decreasing cancer risk, managing autoimmune diseases and even adding years to a person’s life.\r\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"pull-quote-blockquote\"\u003EIt actually matters when we eat. Not just what we eat, or how much.\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nOur eating patterns differ from those of our ancestors’. They likely went for long periods without food. They ate their largest meal closer to mid-day and went to bed early. Sometimes, they had little food to survive on.\r\n\r\nFor many of us, food is plentiful, always available, and most of what we eat is processed. We are more sedentary than our ancestors, and we sleep less and eat more food, more often.\r\n\r\nIntermittent fasting is really about getting our eating in-line with our circadian rhythms, the physical, mental and behavioral changes in our bodies that follow a daily cycle. These rhythms are most influenced by daylight. Irregular rhythms have been linked to obesity, sleep disorders, diabetes and depression. It actually matters when we eat. Not just what we eat, or how much.\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat plan do you recommend for intermittent fasting?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\nThere are three things to consider. \u003Cstrong\u003EFirst\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E, the quality of the food you consume. You should eat mostly whole foods from plants or animals. And you should limit processed items, such as cookies, cereals, crackers and chips.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1038441\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1038441 size-full\" src=\"\u002F\u002Fcdn.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Ffitch-2.jpg\" alt=\"Angela Fitch, MD\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Angela Fitch, MD[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003ESecond,\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E the quantity of food you are eating. After fasting, you can’t binge-eat. If you are trying to use intermittent fasting to lose weight, you should cut your calorie consumption by 30 percent — in addition to limiting the window of time in which you are eating each day.\r\n\r\nAnd \u003Cstrong\u003Ethird,\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E the timing. I suggest beginning with 10 consecutive fasting hours each day. Every few weeks, add a fasting hour, until you reach 16 hours, or a comfortable point. Longer than 12 hours of fasting produces metabolic health benefits. But at more than 16 hours, those benefits level off.\r\n\r\nDuring fasting, water and drinks with no calories, such as coffee and tea without sugar, cream or sweeteners are permitted. Most patients prefer to eat dinner, then fast, which allows them to sleep through some of their fasting hours and eat breakfast later in the day. Eating more in the morning and less in the evening is better for metabolic fitness but it is hard to do because eating is also a social activity, especially for dinner.\r\n\r\nOther options include consuming 500 calories every other day. Or a fasting-mimicking diet, where eating is restricted for five consecutive days and special foods, mostly fats, like olives and fatty acids, and some protein and bone broth are consumed.\r\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"pull-quote-blockquote\"\u003EAt Mass General, we encourage patients to eat healthy 80 percent of the time and help them not beat themselves up about the other 20 percent.\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EWho can try intermittent fasting?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\nMost people can try intermittent fasting. But if you have diabetes, kidney disease or heart failure, talk with your doctor first. Intermittent fasting is not recommended for a person who has an eating disorder or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Some early effects that may subside after a few weeks include dehydration, constipation and hunger.\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EWhy does intermittent fasting work?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\nAfter 12 hours of fasting, insulin levels in our blood drop, allowing our bodies to burn more fat as fuel. This is helpful for patients who are insulin resistant, meaning their bodies make more insulin than normal. They may have tried healthy eating and exercise to shed pounds without success because their bodies are set to a fat-storage mode. (Insulin resistance is a precursor to type 2 diabetes.)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1003274\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1003274\" src=\" https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FGelsomin-banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Learn more about obesity and weight loss:\u003Cbr \u002F\u003E• \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcharged\u002Fepisodes\u002Fangela-fitch\"\u003EDr. Fitch Talks About Obesity \u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003Cbr \u002F\u003E• \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadvances.massgeneral.org\u002Fdigestive-health\u002Farticle.aspx?id=1127#:~:text=Fitch%2C%20MD%2C%20FACP%2C%20FOMA%2C%20is%20the%20associate%20director,obesity%20by%20promoting%20healthy%20weight%20attainment%20and%20management.\"\u003EHealthy Eating Resolutions\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003Cbr \u002F\u003E• \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fblum-center\u002Fevents\u002F5-tips-to-maintain-a-healthy-weight\"\u003E Five Tips for a Healthy Weight\u003C\u002Fa\u003E[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\nUsing bloodwork, we can identify these patients and offer intermittent fasting, either alone, or in combination with nutritional guidance and medication.\r\n\r\nI think intermittent fasting works well because it gives people structure.

When intense, rumination wears a person down. It typically resists our current array of treatments.\r\n\r\nCurrent research indicates that people who ruminate have decreased activity in the default mode network of the brain. Since psychedelics, specifically psilocybin, a compound derived from a psychoactive mushroom, changes the connectivity of the default mode, might it create a window of opportunity to change the brain?

Their goal was to drive ALS research toward clinical trials that would increase the spectrum of therapeutic options for patients.\r\n\r\nUntil relatively recently, translation of advances in the understanding of ALS pathophysiology was hindered by a lack of infrastructure and coordination necessary to support clinical trials. Additionally, disease heterogeneity within the patient population often precluded the identification of appropriate outcomes for trials of a given therapy.\r\n\r\nAddressing these limitations in the discovery process requires the flexibility and funding to rapidly adapt the drugs being tested to patient responses. In 2018, the launch of the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS offered an opportunity to initiate the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fneurology\u002Fals\u002Fresearch\u002Fplatform-trial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EPlatform Trial for ALS.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Platform trials utilize a master protocol to simultaneously evaluate multiple treatments, including combinations of treatments, and perform comparisons of competing treatments across a patient cohort.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1066401\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1066401 size-full\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn3.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FMeritTN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Merit E.

Although over 80 companies have applied to be part of the Healey ALS Platform Trial for ALS, Dr. Cudkowicz describes the search for new drugs as an ongoing process of outreach and evaluation.\r\n\r\n\"Although not all of the companies have drugs prepared for a Phase 2 trial, the opportunity to identify solid science at an early stage is invaluable.\"\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ETransforming Ideas Into Innovations\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nApproximately 10% of ALS-affected patients present a family history of the disease (fALS), with the remaining patients classified as having sporadic ALS (sALS). Although different, the genetic presentation in both patient subsets results in the degeneration and death of motor neurons. ALS research has demonstrated promising results in identifying and addressing the mechanistic origins of neuronal dysfunction and death.","leading-the-charge-in-als-therapy-research-and-development","2023-12-06 17:12:56","2023-12-06 22:12:56","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1066379","Accordion","Rescuing Neurons From Degeneration","\u003Cp\u003EHealthy cells, including neurons, require mitochondria for energy and a functional endoplasmic reticulum to direct proper protein folding, modification, and transport.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (CENTAUR) designed and conducted through the NEALS Consortium revealed that the combination drug (AMX0035) significantly slowed ALS progression and increased survival by 6.5 months. Dr. Cudkowicz was also the senior author on papers reporting results from patients enrolled in the open-label extension (OLE) of the trial, which revealed increased survival up to 10.5 months and reduced risk of death and tracheostomy or permanent assisted ventilation.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe OLE data were key to Health Canada and Food and Drug Administration approvals of the drug (Albrioza in Canada and Relyvrio in the U.S.) for treating adult ALS patients in 2022. The ongoing phase 3 trial (PHOENIX) to obtain additional safety and efficacy data finished enrollment in February 2023.

ASOs are short, synthetic ssRNAs designed to selectively bind a complementary sequence present in specific RNAs.
