A MESSAGE FROM THE
GALA CO-CHAIRS
Dear Friends,
Our theme this year, I DO support PHASE ONE, is a vow recommitting to the fight against
cancer. We honor the past 15 years we have funded research and commit to funding 15 more!
As you all know, Phase One was founded in 1999 after Alberto had successfully completed his
treatment for testicular cancer. Sadly, Kevin was not as fortunate and lost his battle to brain
cancer in 2009. This year, together, we join forces and fight on in Kevin’s memory to fight
cancer.
Indeed, because of the generous support of friends like you, we are doing great
things. Incredible progress is being made in finding safer and more effective treatments.
We thank our wonderful event committee for all their hard work. We thank the board for their
support and trust in following our vision for this evening. We thank the wonderful team of
doctors who dream to find a cure.
This year, our virtual journal has allowed us to donate even more money to treatment and
research. Thank you for your support and understanding that “going virtual” allows for more
dollars funding research as we save on printing a paper journal.
Together we can make a difference in the fight against cancer and we thank you for your
support and for saying “I DID support PHASE ONE”.

A MESSAGE FROM
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
April 30, 2015
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Phase One Board of Directors – Welcome to the 15th Annual Gala.
Fifteen! Many of you attending tonight have been to every single Phase One Gala beginning in
2000 at L’Ermitage Beverly Hills. For some of you, this is your first Gala, and you are in for an
extraordinary evening!
One thing we all have in common is that we are here this evening to support early cancer
research and clinical trials.
Since that first Gala, we have raised more than $15 million, funded dozens of clinical trials at the
best medical institutions in Southern California and grown to over 3,000 supporters. This is a
legacy we can ALL be proud of.
We are thrilled that PHASE ONE co-founder Stacy Valner and board member Meritt Elliott are
chairing tonight’s event. Along with their superb and dedicated committee, Meritt and Stacy
have done an outstanding job in creating another one-of-a-kind evening.
The theme for tonight -- I DO – is a pledge for recommitment. A recommitment to PHASE ONE.
A recommitment to those we have lost. A recommitment to those we love who are fighting
cancer. A recommitment to finding a cure for cancer.
The PHASE ONE Board is proud to lead in this recommitment. We have accelerated our efforts
to advance research and therapies for the treatment of cancer by deploying the funds we have
raised through your generous donations. We are visiting all of the major medical facilities in Los
Angeles, meeting with new investigators. This year, we are funding the exciting ovarian cancer
research of Dr. Sanaz Memarzadeh at the UCLA Broad Stem Cell Center. Tonight, guests at
the Gala are able to add their own individual support, via smartphones, to her important work.
Phase One is growing – and growing stronger. This year we welcomed Edward Woods to our
board.
Thank you for joining our quest.
We are redesigning our website
(www.phaseonefoundation.org) and adding wonderful new programs in support of our mission.
Join our mailing list (info@phaseonefoundation.org) to learn more.
None of this would be possible without you. Thank you for all you DO to support PHASE ONE!

A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDERS
Dear Friends,
As many of you know, a little over sixteen years ago, my mother and I were diagnosed with very
different types of cancer. Unfortunately for my mother, at the age of 58 and in the epitome of
health, she had a type of cancer where little was known, and she was given a year to live.
Nine days later, I was also diagnosed with cancer. Even though my cancer had pretty much
spread throughout my body, a lot was known about the type of cancer I had and my odds of
survival were more optimistic. After six months of intensive chemotherapy treatments and
multiple surgeries, I was told I was “cancer free.” Just a few days later, my mother passed away.
Both my mother and I were treated by some of the best doctors and medical facilities that
Southern California has to offer. The primary difference between our illnesses was the
knowledge or lack of that existed regarding each one of our cancers.
Therefore, fifteen years ago, Stacy and I became determined to make it our mission to raise
funds for all types of cancer research. Our hope was that no one should be as unfortunate as
my mother was, and that every cancer patient be provided with a sense of hope. A small group
of friends joined with us and Phase One was born. Today, this group of people has grown and
evolved into a large and diverse one representing all walks of life in our city. I am very proud
and thankful for their commitment and leadership. In the last fifteen years, we have funded
millions of dollars for cancer research at every major medical center and research facility in our
greater Los Angeles community as well as at various other national institutions.
Incredible progress is being made on a daily basis in finding safer and more effective
treatments. We are certain that one day cancer will be controlled and ultimately cured in our
lifetimes and Phase One is determined to stay in the forefront of this quest.
We thank you for sharing our vision and for your support.
All my best,
Alberto Valner

WE DO support PHASE ONE
WHAT WE DO
PHASE ONE is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Phase I clinical research and
treatment programs for patients with cancer. The group was founded in 1999 by Stacy and
Alberto Valner, with a small group of friends, all couples with young children. Each one of these
individuals had been affected by a diagnosis of cancer in themselves or in a close family
member.
Once a new idea or novel drug is identified in the laboratory, the FDA requires three levels of
clinical testing prior to the approval of that drug for widespread use. These studies are usually
referred to as trials in Phase I, II, or III. The focus of a Phase I trial is to determine the
appropriate dose and schedule of a given drug and its side effects. Patients enrolled usually
have advanced cancers, which have progressed through standard therapy or for which standard
therapy does not exist. Sometimes these patients have been through "everything" and still
function extremely well. The Phase II trial applies the Phase I information on dose and schedule
and tries to get a hint of efficacy. The Phase III trial is the final set of studies and usually
involves hundreds, if not thousands of patients worldwide. Clinical trials are the only way to
understand the best and safest therapies available to patients with any disease.
With your support PHASE ONE hopes that its efforts to fund Phase I trials and research will
help in the fight against cancer, by finding treatments that will transform what might be a
terminal illness into one where patients can live a full and productive life. PHASE ONE is
determined to:
●
●
●
●
●
●
Offer hope to the patient today that has been told there is nothing left.
Allow patients in our community the access to whatever types of therapy may be
available around the world.
Make the time a patient goes through treatment easier by improving patient care.
Support research that takes advantage of the vast amount of new information about
what causes cancers.
Lay the groundwork for larger scale multi-center research that can set new standards of
oncology care.
Make sure that those diagnosed with cancer in the future will have even safer and more
effective treatments to live long lives with their disease too.
Since 1999, PHASE ONE has raised more than $15 million in support of these trials and
programs at some of the most prestigious organizations in Southern California including Samuel
Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, City of Hope, UCLA
Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, USC/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, Children’s
Hospital of Los Angeles and the Premiere Oncology Foundation Lung Cancer Initiative.
WE DO support PHASE ONE
WHAT WE SUPPORT
Dedicated to ensuring that the Southern California community has access to the most promising
novel therapies available for those afflicted with cancer, PHASE ONE directed its efforts to
support research that might not be funded by alternative mechanisms.
The studies selected included novel therapies and conventional ones, all having some scientific
question about efficacy, biologic correlates, surrogate markers (radiographic, laboratory, tissue
based or other), or mechanism of action. The findings of these studies will ideally lead to further
research or further independently-funded projects.
2015
Dr. Sanaz Memarzadeh, UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center
Grant Amount: $300,000
PHASE ONE is funding a two-year grant, totaling $300,000, in support of Sanaz Memarzadeh’s,
MD, PhD, ovarian cancer research at the UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center.
Research suggests that most, if not all, cancers arise from cancer stem cells. Conventional
cancer therapies target rapidly dividing tumor cells, but cancer stem cells have tools to escape
chemotherapy and radiation. At some point, the cancer stem cells begin to self-renew, creating
a new tumor and the cancer begins to grow again.
Ovarian tumors account for about 3% of all malignancies in women, but are responsible for a
disproportionately large number of cancer related deaths. One reason these cancers are
dangerous is that they are detected late. The symptoms of ovarian cancer are often non-specific
and can resemble other common ailments. Currently, there is no definitive screening test for
ovarian cancer; therefore tumors cannot be detected at an early stage.
High grade serous tumors are the most common form of ovarian cancer. Despite being called
“ovarian” cancer, recent work suggests that the majority of these tumors have their origins in the
fallopian tubes. The standard of treatment for high grand serous ovarian cancer is surgical
removal of the tumor followed by chemotherapy. However, most patients with high grade serous
ovarian cancer relapse in one year and many succumb to this illness within five years despite a
complete initial response to therapy. The clinical behavior of high grade serous ovarian cancer
suggests that subsets of these tumor cells have stem cell-like properties and are resistant to
existing therapies. These cells comprise a small fraction of the tumor but are the cancer
initiating cells. In order to eradicate serous cancers, we must first find a way to target the serous
cancer stem cells.
UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center member Dr. Sanaz Memarzadeh and her team have
made major progress in isolating this population of serous tumor cells with stem activity (the
cancer stem cells). They believe these cells are responsible for high rates of relapse in ovarian
cancers. More importantly, they have identified and are testing ways of eliminating these tumor
cells by adding drugs to existing standard chemotherapy. They envision a handful of strategies
that can be used to individualize each patient’s care based on tumor analysis in the laboratory.
Their proposed treatments may significantly improve survival of patients. With the generous
support from the PHASE ONE Foundation, Sanaz is moving the first of these therapeutic
strategies forward into clinical trial for treatment of ovarian cancer.
As a practicing clinician it is Sanaz’s experience caring for patients with ovarian and other
gynecological cancers that motivate her to define better, less toxic and more effective
treatments to replace or compliment conventional therapies. Historically, ovarian cancer
research is woefully underfunded; generous philanthropic resources enhance Sanaz’s ability to
pursue innovative and novel ideas that will greatly impact future treatments of this disease.
2014
Dr. Richard Tuli, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
Grant Amount: $323,423
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a devastating disease with the lowest survival rate of any solid
cancer. Gemcitabine chemotherapy and radiotherapy given concurrently remain the mainstay
treatments for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer, which cannot be removed by
surgery, but also has not spread to other areas of the body. Both gemcitabine and radiotherapy
kill tumor cells by interfering with their DNA, the genetic blueprint. Veliparib is a poly (ADPribose) polymerase (PARP)1/2 inhibitor; PARP1/2 proteins are also involved in DNA repair.
Studies have shown that inhibiting PARP1/2 activity can significantly enhance the effects of
radiotherapy and chemotherapy in killing tumor cells. Our own laboratory work has shown
excellent synergy between veliparib (a PARP inhibitor), radiotherapy and gemcitabine in killing
pancreatic cancer cells grown in culture, and in prolonging survival in mice with pancreatic
tumors.
Based upon these promising results and with the generous support of the PHASE ONE
Foundation and Diane V. Allen, we are currently enrolling patients in a first-in-human,
investigational clinical study (phase I) to test the safety and efficacy of veliparib in combination
with gemcitabine and radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Prior to
and during therapy, patient tumor and blood samples will also be tested for levels of different
DNA repair proteins and mutations, such as BRCA1/2. This molecular “signature” will hopefully
serve as a “biomarker” to predict how the patient and tumor are responding to treatment. We
are hopeful that we will be able to select out the subset of favorable patients who respond to this
regimen, and design future studies (phase 2/3) by “personalizing” treatments using PARP1/2
inhibitors.
2013
Dr. Karim Chamie, University of California Los Angeles
Grant Amount: $142,350
Dr. Karim Chamie, with UCLA Urology, is working to combat the rapid increase in recent years
of urothelial cancer by investigating a potentially new treatment method involving a hydrogel
polymer (chemical compound), which is liquid at room temperature, mixed with chemotherapy to
treat this difficult-to-detect and highly reoccurring form of cancer. The polymer-chemotherapy
combination takes on the shape of the cavity of interest (such as a kidney) at body temperature
and has the potential to deliver chemotherapy to the targeted site while minimizing side-effects.
The polymer can also be mixed with a dye that binds to tumor cells to facilitate detection of
tumor cells within a specific organ. Traditionally, what has been most challenging in treating this
type of cancer is the ability to deliver the chemotherapeutic agent at a high concentration level
to the exact tumor site. This new discovery has the potential to overcome the previous
challenge by using the polymer-chemotherapy directly to the targeted site. Dr. Chamie and his
team are optimistic in pursing this study and are grateful to the PHASE ONE Foundation for
supporting these efforts.
Dr. Joseph Riss, University of California Los Angeles
Grant Amount: $310,000
Despite advancement in targeted treatments, metastatic kidney cancer poses a therapeutic
challenge due to its resistance to conventional models of treatment. As long-term survival for
patients with metastatic kidney cancer remains poor, UCLA Urology’s Allan Pantuck, MD and
Arie Belldegrun, MD, along with Joseph Riss, PhD, have been working for years to develop
innovative methods of therapy. With the assistance of critical funding provided by the PHASE
ONE Foundation, this research team developed a kidney cancer vaccine that was recently
approved by the FDA and given to the first patient in February 2013. Even with this grand
milestone, the researchers must now monitor the effectiveness of the vaccine, especially given
the kidney tumor’s resistance to current therapeutics. With the continuous support of the
PHASE ONE Foundation, Dr. Riss and his team will use previously identified indicators to
develop diagnostic tools for monitoring the new treatment and aim to develop a next-generation
vaccine that will combat tumor resistance in metastatic kidney cancer.
Dr. Anna Pawlowska, City of Hope
Grant Amount: $37,000
Ewing’s sarcoma is the second most common primary bone tumor in children and
adolescents. While advances in treatment have increased survival rates for children with
localized disease to nearly 70 percent, fewer than 30 percent of patients who experience
relapse or the spread of their cancer survive. In addition to these grim statistics, there is no
nationally accepted “gold standard” of treatment for patients with advanced Ewing’s
sarcoma. More effective therapies are urgently needed to save the lives of young patients.
City of Hope will be launching a five-year pilot clinical trial to study the effectiveness of a
promising treatment for high-risk patients with advanced Ewing’s sarcoma: whole-body MRIguided radiation therapy followed by autologous hematopoietic cell transplant, with a novel
combination of high-dose chemotherapy. Led by Anna Pawlowska, M.D., Clinical Professor of
Pediatrics, the proposed study will assess whether this therapy is feasible, safe and likely to
increase patient survival rates. A similar approach tested in Germany and Austria increased
children’s survival rate to 70 percent after two years and 56 percent after three years with
minimal toxicity, but this approach has never been tested in the United States.
In a novel approach, guests at the 2013 PHASE ONE Gala DIRECTLY donated $37,000 to help
fund part of this five-year trial by supporting MRI tests for patients not covered by their
insurance and/or support a portion of the salary of a Clinical Research Assistant. This critical
seed funding would help young patients with Ewing’s sarcoma access a promising new therapy
now and start collecting the patient data needed to secure additional public and private funding
for future years of the trial.
2012
Dr. Antoni Ribas, University of California Los Angeles
Grant Amount: $294,400
With the support of the PHASE ONE Foundation we will conduct a phase 1 clinical trial (MART1 F5 TCR Engineered Adoptive Cell Transfer Therapy with CTLA4 Blockade) with the goal of
genetically programming the human immune system to efficiently target cancer cells in patients
with advanced stage melanoma, the deadliest of skin cancers. This clinical trial builds upon the
experience at UCLA over the past 3 years in the use of T cell receptor (TCR) engineered
adoptive cell transfer therapy. This therapy is manufactured in-house and results in the
generation of a large army of immune system cells that are genetically redirected to recognize
and kill melanoma. With this therapy we have noted high initial response rates, but tumors come
back. A major limitation has been a progressive decrease in the antitumor functionality of the
TCR engineered immune cells. The antibody tremelimumab blocks a major negative regulator in
immune cells and will be tested with the goal of maintaining the cancer killing functionality of the
TCR engineered lymphocytes given to patients. This protocol has administrative approval by the
UCLA regulatory committees and it has already been filed and approved by the Food and Drug
Administration.
2011
P.R. Lowenstein, M.D. PhD and Maria G. Castro, PhD
Department of Neurosurgery and Cell and Developmental Biology, The University of
Michigan School of Medicine, Ann Arbor, Michigan
Grant Amount $216,000
Highly malignant brain tumors are uniformly lethal. Patients usually survive less than 2 years
post-diagnosis, with very few still alive 5 years later. In spite of constant developments in
surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy a breakthrough for this particularly aggressive cancer
has not been yet discovered. Over the last ten years we have developed a novel approach for
the treatment of brain tumors. Based on an evolutionary and developmental understanding of
the structure and function of the brain immune system, we decided to restitute to the brain those
immune cells normally absent from it, as a potential new approach to treat brain tumors. The
immune cells normally absent from the brain are those in charge of turning on the anti-tumor
immune response. Their absence from the brain helps us explain why normally anti-brain tumor
immune responses are ineffective. By attracting those specific immune cells to the brain and the
brain tumors, we expect them to identify brain tumor antigens and unleash a therapeutically
effective immune attack to eliminate brain tumors. To achieve this we have turned adenoviruses
which normally can cause lung infections and other diseases into therapeutic agents. We have
engineered the viruses to deliver directly to the brain and the brain tumors a protein that will
recruit the missing immune cells to the brain to start a clinically effective immune response. As
our work uses viruses as agents of treatment to induce immune responses, our therapeutic
approach is described as a “combined gene-and immune therapy”. Following more than ten
years of development and experimental testing we are now ready to start clinical trials in
patients suffering from glioblastoma multiforme. With very generous support from the PHASE
ONE Foundation, we are now on the threshold of starting the first ever clinical trials of this new
therapeutic approach for the treatment of deadly highly malignant brain tumors. The proposed
trial, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration on April 7, 2011 is currently
undergoing the final evaluations by the Institutional Biosafety Committee, and the Institutional
Review Board for Clinical Trials. We expect these evaluations to be finalized within the next few
weeks. Once our trial has cleared all necessary Committee reviews, it will be ready to start.
PHASE ONE has thus provided the green light to move the dreams of two basic scientists into
the challenging arena of clinical trials. As the trial starts enrolling patients we will look forward to
keeping PHASE ONE abreast of all therapeutic developments. We hope, and for the sake of the
patients, we pray, that treating the first patients may represent in Winston Churchill’s prophetic
words, “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the
end of the beginning.”
2010
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles
Grant Amount: $410,000
In February 2010, PHASE ONE granted $410,000 over two years to fund a Phase I study at
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. The study, led by Dr. Stuart E. Siegel, is of AC220 for children
with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or acute myeloid leukemia
(AML). This grant will provide an opportunity in getting a second generation FLT3 inhibitor drug
tested in a pediatric population that truly focuses on the concept of FLT3 inhibition in high-risk
ALL and AML patents. The goal of the study is to obtain sufficient laboratory and clinical data to
enable the design of a larger Phase II study. Results from this study would also leverage
funding to support the Phase II part of this project from both the National Cancer Institute, as
well as the pharmaceutical company Ambit that makes the drug.
2009
The Premiere Oncology Foundation Lung Cancer Initiative
Grant Amount: $266,500
Premiere Oncology Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to cancer research, integrative medicine,
patient/family support services and community education, will utilize the grant to support a
comprehensive lung cancer program to include multi-disciplinary research. Lung cancer is the
world’s top cancer killer, claiming more than 1.3 million lives per year, yet few financial
resources have been dedicated to this disease. The Premiere Oncology Foundation Lung
Cancer Initiative focuses on the use of FDA-sanctioned novel treatment regimens in
collaboration with experts in the field of lung cancer detection and treatment. The program will
foster dialog among practitioners caring for lung cancer patients, and provide a means for
seamless interaction with medical and radiation oncologists, thoracic surgeons, radiologists,
pulmonologists and primary care physicians caring for these patients.
Dedicated to whole-patient care and recognized for expediting clinical trials, Premiere’s flagship
cancer center in Santa Monica offers patients the newest cutting-edge treatments, rapid access
to novel, internationally available therapies and integrative medicine all under one roof.
Additionally, Premiere provides services in its Scottsdale, Arizona center and research affiliation
with Pacific Hematology & Oncology Associates in San Diego.
2007–2008
The Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute-Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
Grant Amount: $2,000,000
Internationally renowned cancer researcher Steven Piantadosi, MD, PhD, was named the
inaugural PHASE ONE Foundation Endowed Chair of the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive
Cancer Institute (SOCCI) at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center at a ceremony February 6, 2008.
SOCCI provides cutting edge cancer clinical trials and sub-cellular research, in addition to stateof-the-art patient care. Its research efforts are focused on developing breakthroughs that
translate as efficiently as possible into new methods for the treatment of cancers of the lung,
brain, colon, prostate, pancreas, breast, spine, ovaries, pituitary, thyroid and blood system, plus
melanoma and other cancers.
With this endowment, Dr. Piantadosi will define and direct the activities of the Institute and serve
as a key figure in framing the national debate about cancer, while having a decided impact on
the direction and success of new research.
City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center
Grant Amount: $345,000
The City of Hope Division of Medical Oncology and its Department of Clinical and Molecular
Pharmacology, directed by Yun Yen MD, PhD, is the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer
Center equivalent to a Phase I Solid Tumor Program. In this program is the exciting translation
of molecules from the laboratory to the clinic.
City of Hope will use the PHASE ONE funds to support novel Phase I clinical trials developed in
collaboration with the Department of Clinical and Molecular Pharmacology. These resources
would be utilized to fund novel protocols or existing protocols where additional funds could
translate findings from the laboratory to the clinic. Support for novel “NEW” programs (25–50K/
year for two years) in Clinical and Molecular Pharmacology that can reach the clinic during the
two years of the award, and bring innovation from our laboratories will be the highest priority.
The City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Phase I Program has a commitment to the
Developmental Therapeutics and Hematologic Malignancies Programs directed by Yun Yen
MD, PhD, Richard Jove PhD, and Steven Forman MD. City of Hope will establish competitive
awards (25–50K/year for two years) that combine a laboratory and clinical Principal Investigator
that translate laboratory observations into the clinic during this period. Programs in Solid
Tumors and Hematologic Malignancies including lymphomas, in both adults and children would
be included.
2006
Kuk-Wha Lee, M.D. PhD
Grant Amount: $250,000
Dr. Lee is a graduate of the Medical Scientist Training program at Loma Linda University School
of Medicine, obtaining her PhD and MD. Her clinical training is in pediatrics and she was
fellowship trained in Pediatric Endocrinology at the Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA. In
training she was the recipient of the prestigious Giannini Foundation Fellowship, SteinOppenheimer Award, and the LWPES Clinical Scholar Award for her research. In addition, she
is the recipient of the UCLA Prostate Cancer SPORE Career Development Award for her
research in cellular and animal models of human prostate cancer. Her laboratory studies the
biological functions of Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and its binding
partners in cancer biology, specifically prostate cancer. Specifically, she studies the molecular
mechanisms by which this molecule enters cells; targets specific areas within cancer cells (e.g.
the nucleus and mitochondria); and initiates the programmed cell death cascade.
Unique assays in their laboratory have been developed to study serum levels of these
molecules and also have developed unique transgenic and knockout mouse models of human
disease. Based on preliminary work published from their laboratory the plan is to initiate a
Phase I trial of IGFBP-3 in men with prostate cancer in the near future.
2005
Karen Reckamp, M.D.—A Phase 1 Trial of Vaccine Therapy with Lung Cancer
Grant Amount: $500,000
With her mentor, Steven Dubinett, M.D., Director of the UCLA Lung Cancer Program, Dr.
Redcamp’s efforts are in the immunologic treatment of lung cancer through novel genetic-based
immunologic stimulation. Her proposal is for a Phase I Clinical Trial of the intratumoral
administration of an immune stimulant called a chemokine to induce an immune response that
could yield immunity to this cancer.

2003
Dr. Lee Rosen—Cancer Institute Medical Group
Grant Amount: $276,250
In 2003, Dr. Lee Rosen conducted a Phase I study of a medication that could theoretically shut
down the development of new blood vessels from which tumors grow and possibly spread.
Using a series of radiographic assessments including CT/MRI/Bone scans, etc. as well as
conventional scans such as CT/MRI, Dr. Rosen and his colleagues at the Cancer Institute
Medical Group, examined the response of their patients to this new medication and to what
degree. He also found the use of PET scans, which look at changes in tumor metabolic activity
rather than size, is very effective, PHASE ONE has been sponsoring a trial which will look at
whether a combination of PET/CT scans can aid in the assessment of the drug’s efficacy more
quickly than conventional CT scanning alone.
2002
Dr. Sven de Vos, Dr. Christos Emmanouilides, Dr. William H. McBride and
Dr. Jonathan W. Said—Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center
Grant Amount: $150,000
PHASE ONE sponsored an Indisciplinary Grant to study the use of the Proteasome Inhibitor
PS-341 in the treatment of refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphomas in terms of clinical efficacy,
mechanisms of resistance and new models of combination therapy. The study was conducted
by principal investigator, Sven de Vos, M.D., and co-investigators, Christos Emmanouilides,
M.D., William H. McBride, M.D. and Jonathan W. Said, M.D. at the Jonsson Comprehensive
Cancer Center.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR
MEDICAL ADVISORY BOARD
April 30, 2015
Dear Friends,
The Phase One Medical Advisory Board wishes to thank the Board of Directors of Phase One
for its vision in supporting the next generation of cancer scientists. The support of investigators
whose goal is the translation of discoveries to find better, safer, and more effective treatments
for patients with cancer will form the lasting legacy of the Phase One Foundation.
This evening as we celebrate with laughter, entertainment, and fine food, we salute the tireless
efforts of this young and spirited organization. Since 1999, Phase One has raised over $15
million for cancer research, funded more than a dozen research programs, and equally as
important has created greater awareness in our community about the importance of funding
clinical trials and investigative studies.
All of us on the Medical Advisory Board are very proud of achievements like this. But we are
also always aware of how much more has to be accomplished before we can say, “We are
indeed curing cancer.”
Because of the generosity of all of you with us tonight, the task is made easier. Thank you for
giving us the opportunity and for your all-important support of Phase One.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Figlin, MD., FACP
Steven Spielberg Family Chair in Hematology Oncology

Philip H. Koeffler, M.D.
Dr. Philip Koeffler is a Professor of Medicine at UCLA School of Medicine and is Director of the
Division of Hematology/Oncology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He did his undergraduate
training at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and then attended Baylor College of Medicine
for Medical School Training. He completed his internship and residency at the University of
Southern California, and his fellowship in Hematology/Oncology at UCLA. He went through the
professorial ranks from Assistant Professor to Full Professor at UCLA from 1978 to 1986, and in
1992, he moved his laboratory to a large research area at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He has
over 600 peer-reviewed scientific articles published or in press and over 75 chapters in medical
scientific books. Dr. Koeffler uses cellular and molecular biology to ask cancer-related
questions. He has large tissue banks for many different cancers including brain, breast, lung
and leukemias and lymphomas. He has well over 100 different cancer cell lines frozen viably
and at any one time perhaps 30 of these cell lines are growing in the laboratory. In addition, he
frequently uses mice (nude, transgenic, and deletional). Some of his major accomplishments
include: being the first lab to identify p53 to be mutated in human cancer; being one of three
labs to identify p53 as a transcription factor; developing one of the first human myeloid leukemia
cell lines (KG-1) which has over the years has become a model to study leukemia (these cells
were used to clone, for the first time, the alpha interferon gene and to make the CD34 antibody
which has been used to purify hematopoietic stem cells); being first to develop a cell line (KS-1)
infected with Karposi’s Sarcoma associated virus (HHV-8), but not infected with either Epstein
Barr Virus or human immunodeficiency virus; being first to clone cyclin A1, a protein involved in
cell cycle progression and performing experiments to understand the protein’s biology; being
first to clone and study transferrin-2 and receiving a patent on various aspects of this protein
which is important in iron metabolism, and if mutated, causes hemachromatosis; being first to
clone a myeloid transcription factor known as C/EBP, a protein critical for myeloid (white) cell
development (Dr. Koeffler’s lab was one of two labs to first identify the genetic abnormality in
patients with “Specific Granule Deficiency” disease – germline mutation of C/EBP and one of
two labs first to identify mutations in C/EBP in acute myelogenous leukemia. He also noted that
the gene was silenced in a number of other cancer subtypes, a discovery that lends itself to
become a therapeutic target).
