Evaluating Biomarkers During Clinical Trials for Immunotherapies: A Case Study on the Pioneer Project, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks
TORONTO (PRWEB) November 11, 2019 -- Immunotherapies are currently the most rapidly growing drug class and have a major impact in the oncology field. While these approaches have demonstrated impressive results for some patients, important challenges still need to be overcome. Among these, defining valuable and adapted combination protocols, predicting responders to therapies through biomarkers, follow-up or overcoming resistance development to current immunotherapies are major goals to achieve.
The immune microenvironment is one of the factors that critically influences clinical outcome. Therefore, identifying immune-related biomarkers is of crucial importance in the frame of combination therapies with checkpoint inhibitors.
On Wednesday, November 27, 2019 at 11am EST (4pm GMT/UK), join a live webinar where Dr Jérôme Galon, Research Director at Inserm, will explain how biomarker evaluation allows a comprehensive profiling of the tumor and is mandatory to elucidate actionable or resistance mechanisms to treatment in solid cancers. Next, Professor Fabrice Barlesi, Head of Multidisciplinary Oncology and Therapeutic Innovations at APHM, will focus on the choice of relevant immune-related biomarkers to be tested in order to predict and overcome resistance to treatments in patients suffering from lung cancer. The Pioneer Project, supported by the French Research Agency, will illustrate this topic.
This webinar will also include a brief overview of a powerful immuno-oncology platform that can provide meaningful and actionable data through biomarker testing.
