BIOplus 2018 will reveal the latest global intelligence in biotech and healthcare developments.
BIOplus 2018 which takes place in Seoul next month (September 6th – 7th), will reveal the latest global intelligence in biotech and healthcare developments, focusing on game-changing insights to help bio companies grow their business.
Fern Barkalow, PhD, Healthcare Director of Oncology and Hematology at GlobalData will join a presentation panel on the subject of ‘antibody and immune checkpoint inhibitors’, to share the company’s latest research findings and key opinion leader insights in the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors for cancer therapy.
Dr Barkalow commented, “Given the increasingly crowded landscape for marketed PD-1/L1 inhibitors across many tumor types, research into novel checkpoint targets is moving forward, with quite a few drugs now in late-phase development in Asia, Europe and the US.
‘‘While we expect to see the first approval for a new PD-1 drug in an indication that does not currently have any marketed checkpoint inhibitors in Q4, we also anticipate some promising trial readouts for drugs with novel checkpoint targets over the next few years.”
Dr Barkalow’s presentation will cover several core subject areas, namely:
the incorporation of checkpoint inhibitors into the treatment paradigm of various cancers
the state of predictive biomarkers
further strategies including combination therapies and novel targets
an overview of the current landscape of marketed and pipeline checkpoint inhibitors therapies.
The presentation content will be drawn from a number of company sources including GlobalData’s post-ASCO expert presentation and the latest pharma reports on the subject area, including: ‘Challenges in Immuno-oncology (I-O): Future Use, Trial Design and Combination Strategies’ and ‘PharmaFocus: Visual Analysis of Immuno-Oncology Development and Opportunities’.
