NIH LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Testing the Efficacy of Cancer Treatments in Clinical Trials using a Unique New Biomarker
BOSTON (PRWEB) January 31, 2018 -- One Million Solutions in Health announces an opportunity to license science from the NIH: a new, groundbreaking biomarker measuring the effectiveness of cancer treatments and therapies in clinical trials.
One Million Solutions in Health has partnered with the United States' National Institutes of Health Office of Technology Transfer (NIH-OTT) and the National Cancer Institute Technology Transfer Center (NCI-TTC) and is seeking to spread awareness of NIH technologies and advances.
In this One Million Solutions in Health webinar entitled “NIH SPECIAL SERIES: Testing the efficacy of new cancer treatments in clinical trials using a unique biomarker", end users are provided with the opportunity to acquire knowledge about the latest science and technology directly from NIH scientists themselves. Users can also take part in One Million Solutions in Health's exclusive Signature Square process where they are able to assess the innovation, make inquiries and give open feedback to the scientists.
The unique technology behind this biomarker will support clinical trials in better assessing the aggressiveness and development of a patient’s cancer, ultimately assisting in clinical decision-making for cancer treatments. The potential behind this biomarker is noteworthy as patients ‘traditionally’ characterised as having Stage 1 cancer, may actually be concealing a fundamental disease which is much more malignant than anticipated. This could be the reason why certain patients who have been previously-diagnosed with having Stage 1 really have an earlier mortality than anticipated.
In clinical trials, this biomarker possesses the ability to more efficiently stratify patients who are entered into the clinical trial. More importantly, this biomarker could be used to test the responsiveness of the cancer to therapy or treatment throughout the progression of the therapeutic treatment.
Overall, the applications of this biomarker in clinical trials not only holds the potential to revolutionize oncology clinical trials, but also cancer care, by altering the current classification. Namely, the opportunity is to go beyond a classification system based on Stages and to be able to categorize cancer according to its aggressiveness.
If you would like to license this biomarker to evaluate cancer treatments and therapies in clinical trials, then this presentation is for you.
