In this episode of The Hem Onc Pulse, Dr. Rahul Banerjee is joined by Dr. Michelle Longmire, CEO and co-founder of Medable, for a compelling discussion on drug accessibility in cancer care. Together, they explore how decentralized clinical trials and digital tools can help bridge the gap between cutting-edge therapies and the patients who need them most. Dr. Longmire shares how Medable is expanding access to clinical research, particularly in rural and underserved communities, by reimagining how trials are conducted.

The conversation also examines the systemic and financial challenges that often prevent patients from accessing approved cancer therapies—even after regulatory success. With an eye toward equity, Drs. Banerjee and Longmire unpack the barriers in traditional oncology care and highlight innovative, patient-centered approaches that promise a more inclusive future.

Tune in for a thought-provoking look at the intersection of innovation, policy, and compassion in cancer treatment access.
