When T.J. Sharpe was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma at just 37 years old, the statistics were devastating. With a newborn son, a two-year-old daughter, and limited treatment options available at the time, he faced a life-changing decision: pursue standard chemotherapy or take a chance on early immunotherapy clinical trials.

In this powerful episode of the MedEvidence Podcast, cardiologist and medical researcher Michael Koren sits down with T.J. to discuss his remarkable journey from cancer recurrence and uncertainty to becoming a long-term survivor through groundbreaking clinical research.

Dr. Mitchell Rothstein, a board-certified pulmonary and sleep medicine physician, joins us to give a clear update on what modern sleep medicine understands about sleep apnea and why it has become so widespread as BMI rises in the community.

Javonte Maynor joins family doctor and medical marijuana expert Dr. Erich Schramm to discuss the changing space of marijuana research and medical marijuana in the United States. The duo discuss the frustration with politics entering the medical space when it comes to marijuana, and how changing administrations can delay research. The two get into the nuts and bolts of marijuana research, including the hoops needed to perform research, conditions being treated, and a study that may be coming soon. Dr. Schramm also explains his role prescribing marijuana for the last several years and what that entails from a legal standpoint. The two then imagine what may happen to these processes if marijuana is rescheduled from a Schedule 1 to a prescribable Schedule 3 drug; including to dispensaries, the pharmaceutical industry, and current prescribing doctors.

Derrell Thomas joins Dr. Erich Schramm to talk about his experience as a clinical trial participant. The two discuss Derrell's history growing up in a military family, his faith, sport, music background, and the need to keep a healthy weight to support his lifestyle. Dr. Schramm asks about how Derrell, who joined a weight loss study, is liking the process. Derrell talks at length about his experience, the benefits of weekly contact with medical professionals, and how much he is learning about his own medical situation with included imaging and testing. They also discuss the concept of blinding, where neither the doctor nor patient know if the patient has received an investigational medication or a placebo, and that even patients receiving a placebo tend to have good medical outcomes due to the clinical trial process alone.
