Over the past few decades, bladder cancer standard of care has not changed, with platinum-based chemotherapy and BCG as the core pillars of care. The last 12 months have seen two new regimens approved for frontline locally advanced / metastatic urothelial and one new treatment approved for BCG-unresponsive CIS NMIBC, significantly improving survival outcomes for patients. Many other clinical programs have continued progressing, ushering in a new wave of novel, targeted, and potentially more tolerable bladder cancer treatments.
In this Bladder Cancer Awareness Month special episode of Axiom Catalyst, Andrew Kassin and Kiana Ziadkhanpour interview Dr. Petros Grivas, a thought-leading GU Medical Oncologist of University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, to discuss innovative bladder cancer treatments, changing treatment practices, and patient risk factors.
We are honored to continue spreading awareness for bladder cancer to help patients around the world! #BladderCancerAwarenessMonth2024 #AxiomThinkTank

Severe care disparities, barriers to diagnosis, harrowing patient stories, historically low survival… and yet… enduring hope for women worldwide.
While significant progress has been made to address needs of women with gynecologic cancers, and the last 12 month have seen huge strides in advancing standards of care, key challenges remain including the inclusivity of clinical studies, asymmetric engagement and awareness across communities, and limited ability to tailor therapies, especially in later lines as care options dry up.
In this this Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month special episode of Axiom Catalyst, Dan Simpson, Carlie Darefsky, Harish Venkatesan and Flannery Nania talk through the challenges and hope for patients, as we look to the healthcare industry to raise the bar on health standards.
This short podcast complements the specific infographics the Axiom team developed to highlight specific needs and challenges in cervical, ovarian and endometrial cancers respectively.
Let’s keep raising awareness and saving lives! 🌸💪#CervicalCancer #OverianCancer #EndometrialCancer #HealthcareAdvocacy #TogetherAgainstCancer #GynecologicCancer #GynAwarenessMonth2023 #AxiomThinkTank

May is ALS Awareness Month and this year Axiom is marking it with a dedicated podcast to help raise awareness about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also known as motor neuron disease. ALS is fatal with the average life expectancy after diagnosis being two to five years, although some patients may live for years or decades. There is still no known cure for ALS and current treatment options primarily target symptoms to improve quality of life, rather than stopping the disease progression.
In this episode of Axiom Catalyst, Anna Graca is speaking with Dr Tim Williams from the Newcastle MND Care and Research Centre about how this devastating disease affects each individual differently and tremendous efforts of treating physicians and care coordinators to provide a personalised support to these patients and their families.

There are~ 30 million people in Europe alone living with a rare condition, of which 75% have neurological symptoms. While significant progress has been made to address needs of these patients, key challenges remain including the scarcity of the expertise and fragmentation of research efforts that translate into delayed diagnosis, few disease modifying therapies, and difficulty in accessing adequate care.
In this episode of Axiom Catalyst, we invited Frédéric Destrebecq, the Executive Director of the European Brain Foundation and European Brain Council to discuss how coordinated efforts between patient organisations, research and clinical networks, drug innovators and policy makers, can tackle these challenges and reduce the high burden posed by rare neurological disorders in Europe and beyond.

While significant therapeutic advances are underway for inherited blood disorders such as sickle cell disease, hemophilia and β-thalassemia, key challenges remain for the commercialization of these therapies, as well as disparities in access to these treatments and level of care received by patients.
In this episode of Axiom Catalyst, we invited John James, CEO of Sickle Cell Society to discuss the impact of sickle celldisease on day-to-day lives of patients living in the UK, as well as current challenges in their clinical journey. We also explore the outreach work done by the Sickle Cell Society including key local initiatives such as the Hackney engagement project, and the translatory impact of their patient support work.
