CAR T Cell Therapy and Other Technologies Emerging in Oncology Research, New Webinar Hosted by Xtalks
TORONTO (PRWEB) March 07, 2019 -- Join Premier Research experts – Brian D. Marks, BSc, DC, Senior Director of Project Delivery, Oncology and Ashley Jones, MSc, Project Leader, Project Management, Oncology – in a live webinar on Tuesday, March 26, 2019 at 11am EDT (3pm GMT) to learn about the principles and applications of CAR T cell therapy.
For many years, the primary forms of cancer treatment have been chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. An amazing breakthrough known as Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cell therapy (CAR T cell therapy) is now being studied in the treatment of various types of cancer, including acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm and lymphoma.
CAR T cell therapy, or adoptive cell therapy, is a type of treatment in which a patient’s own T cells are manipulated in a lab by adding an artificial receptor, or a “CAR.” In conjunction with the patient’s own T cells, the CAR enables the final product to produce chemicals in the hopes that the “enhanced” product or cells will bind to the cancer cells and kill them.
Some of these unique therapies have already been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are the first steps toward further groundbreaking science.
The featured speakers will explore:
- Principles of CAR T cell therapy
- FDA-approved CAR T cell therapies
- Operational and clinical pathways that bring CAR T cell therapies to patients
- Challenges with clinical application
This webinar will appeal to VPs, Directors, Managers, Department Heads, Scientists and Researchers working within:
- Clinical Affairs
- Clinical R&D
- Clinical Research
- Clinical Pharmacology
- Clinical Operations
- Project Management
- Regulatory Affairs
- Medical Affairs
