Expanding Oncology Treatments: PRIME-ROSE and the Future of Drug Repurposing
Podcast Episode ∙ Science ∙ 2025 ∙ 26 minutes, 55 seconds
Vital Health Podcast
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.
Listeners will learn about the unique challenges of data harmonization and the importance of building robust evidence in real-world settings. Gro Live and Henk share how PRIME-ROSE is helping healthcare systems coordinate more efficiently, reduce barriers to cutting-edge treatments, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Tune in for a closer look at how forward-thinking collaborations and adaptive trial designs are reshaping the landscape of precision oncology in Europe.
