Monash Health recruits first patient in Australia to prostate cancer clinical trial

Associate Professor Arun Azad
The first Australian to be recruited to a new prostate cancer clinical trial is a Monash Health patient.

Led by Associate Professor Arun Azad, Head of Medical Oncology Clinical Trials at the Monash Health Translation Precinct (MHTP), the PROfound trial examines the benefit of a new drug, olaparib, that targets the PARP gene (a gene involved in repairing DNA) in advanced prostate cancer.

“PARP inhibitors work by inhibiting a key DNA damage repair pathway in prostate cancer cells,” Associate Professor Azad said.

“Approximately 20% of advanced prostate cancer patients harbour a DNA repair gene mutation that makes them very sensitive to the effects of PARP inhibitors.”

The same mutations can be present in breast and ovarian cancer, for which olaparib is already approved and in the clinic.

“We know that advanced prostate cancer patients with a DNA repair gene mutation have really bad outcomes,” Associate Professor Azad said.

“However, the use of PARP inhibitors allows us to take advantage of these mutations for the benefit of patients. We hope that these drugs will eventually become available in the clinic for advanced prostate cancer patients, pending the success of trials such as PROfound.”

The PROfound clinical trial is being conducted at the state-of-the-art Clinical Trial Centre at the Monash Health Translation Precinct.   


Associate Professor Azad is a Senior Research Fellow at Monash University and Consultant Medical Oncologist at Monash Health.

MHTP neurosurgical research groups makes mark in Milan

The Monash Health Translation Precinct (MHTP) neurosurgical research group made their mark at the prestigious Global Spine Congress in Milan earlier this month.

Five abstracts from MHTP were accepted at scientific meeting, the only international Spine Congress of its kind in the world, and all will be published in the Global Spine Journal.

“The Department of Surgery at Monash Health neurosurgical research group has both basic science and clinical divisions,” said Monash University’s Associate Professor Tony Goldschlager.

“Basic science research is performed jointly through the Hudson Institute of Medical Research and the Department of Surgery, School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health (SCS).”

Associate Professor Goldschlager said the Monash neurosurgical team, comprising of doctors, Masters and PhD candidates, were honoured to have had five abstracts accepted at the prestigious Global Spine meeting in Milan.

“Two abstracts were on stem cell mediated repair of the intervertebral disc, following microdisectomy—a technique that our team pioneered and shows promise in revolutionising one of the most common operations performed,” said Associate Professor Goldschlager.

“One abstract was on novel high resolution radiological analysis of the intervertebral disc, a project performed together with Monash Biomedical Imaging while another focused clinically on microdisectomy and its postoperative care, an area in which we are currently conducting a clinical trial.”

“The final abstract was on predicting success of a new minimally invasive surgical technique that we utilise, and the study showed positive results.”


The abstracts included four podium presentations by MHTP neurosurgical resident Dr Teddy Lim and neurosurgical registrars Dr Chris Daly and Dr Reece Sher as part of their PhD and Masters respectively. There was also a poster. 


SCS medical student’s research sheds light on commonly overdosed drug, quietiapine

Lucy Taylor
Monash University final year medical student Lucy Taylor was recognised for her outstanding research, winning best poster presentation at the Australian clinical toxicology conference last month in Melbourne.

The School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health student presented her research into quetiapine overdose at the TAPNA Toxicology and Poisons Network Australia (TAPNA) Scientific meeting.

Lucy completed her BMedSc(Hons) last year at SCS in the toxicology unit, where she examined the association of extended-release quetiapine overdose with delayed development of peak toxicity and prolonged recovery when compared to immediate-release quetiapine.

Quetiapine is one of the most common antipsychotic agents taken in deliberate self poisoning. During the time period of Lucy’s study, 8.8% of all referrals made to the Monash Health toxicology service involved quietiapine.

“My study involved a retrospective analysis of the clinical outcomes for patients presenting to Monash Health Emergency Departments with quetiapine overdoses, comparing the clinical outcomes for those who took quetiapine immediate release and quetiapine extended release in overdose,” Lucy said. 

“The results of our study will help inform clinicians on the expected course and management of patients presenting with quetiapine poisoning.”

“In particular we defined the clinical outcomes of extended release quetiapine for the first time, and our research suggests that an absence of sedation or tachycardia 12 hours post ingestion is a reasonable time frame to rule out significant poisoning.”

With a keen interest in emergency medicine, Lucy said she learnt a lot at the conference and her experience has encouraged her to continue pursuing research as part of her future career.

Lucy said she is very grateful to Professor Andis Graudins, Associate Professor Robert Meek and the Toxicology unit at Monash Emergency for their expert guidance and support during her BMedSci year, as well as their continued support of her project.
