Immunotherapy Trials: Overcoming the Challenges of Selecting the Correct Patient Population, New Webinar Hosted by Xtalks

TORONTO, May 15, 2018 (Newswire.com) - There are lots of immunotherapies currently being tested in oncology trials and they are one of the leading forces in oncology drug trials throughout North America and the World. The marketplace is teeming with “the latest” and “the greatest” immunotherapies, but do they work in practice? How can they be brought to market in a practical, cost-efficient manner, that pays due respect to the commercial objectives of the sponsor, and the treatment imperatives of the patient?

Ari VanderWalde, MD, MPH, FACP, Scientific Leader at George Clinical CRO, Director of Clinical Research at West Cancer Center and Associate Vice Chancellor of Clinical Research at University of Tennessee Health Science Center, will give you a no-holds-barred perspective of the trials of the past, how they worked, and insight into successes and failures of those earlier trials. He will use present-day case studies that represent the current landscape and highlight the logistics and challenges that come with running an efficient precision medicine trial. Finally, he will discuss the future of immunotherapy trials: basket/umbrella trials and the most effectual approach to bring the latest and greatest compounds to market. All of this will be based on tried and true experience.

Dr. Vanderwalde offers a unique perspective as a clinician, and as a medical leader for an oncology CRO, who has had an extensive career at the forefront throughout the rise of immunotherapy trials.
