Kazia Therapeutics CEO, Dr James Garner recently sat down with Boardroom Media in Sydney to discuss Kazia’s participation with the US National Cancer Institute backed Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology.
The National Cancer Institute is the leading cancer research organisation in the US, part of the US National Institute of Health.
The study, alongside US pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and biotechnology group Genentech, is for the treatment of cancer that has spread to the brain. Patients will be allocated to receive either GDC-0084 or drugs from Eli Lilly or Genentech, depending on the genetic profile of their tumour.
Importantly, initiation of this study brings the total number of ongoing clinical trials with GDC-0084 to four, each in different forms of brain cancer.
In the interview, Dr Garner discusses:
- Who the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology is
- What the study will involve
- About brain metastases and the challenges involved in developing new treatments
- How the Alliance trial differs from Kazia’s own phase IIa study in GDC-0084
- How the Alliance study is an example of personalised medicine

The Managing Partner of Magnetic Alliance Capital sees the nation’s richest investment opportunities hiding in plain sight: inside thousands of unglamorous, profitable, but operationally sluggish mid-market businesses. Speaking on Wholesale Investor’s […]
The asset class where the market has no vote
Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
