Pre-Conference Short Course * Monday, August 12 • 2:00-5:00

Immunotherapy Strategies for Melanoma As understandings of cancer biology, human genetics and immunology evolve, new strategies for treatment of melanomas with a combination of targeted therapeutics and immunotherapies are progressing at a rapid pace. This short course will survey the most promising emerging targets for cancer therapeutics and explore how these will integrate with cancer vaccines and other immunotherapies for maximum clinical effect.

Instructors TBA

Topics to be discussed:

• New advances in knowledge of melanoma biology

• New targets (PD-1, PRL-1, CTLA-4, OX40, CD40, GITR, 4-1BB)

• Combining targeted agents and immunotherapies

• Identification of immunotherapy biomarkers to improve therapeutic efficacy

Inaugural

Emerging Cancer Immunotherapies and VaccinesNext-Generation Targets and Strategies

August 13-14

Using lessons learned from early cancer vaccines and immunotherapeutics, a new wave of programs are underway that promise improved efficacy and safety over a wider range of cancers. Emerging Cancer Immunotherapies and Vaccines will examine new targets and strategies in this space, along with important studies in preclinical development associated with developing these programs into successful drug products. Speakers will offer approaches to resolve the most challenging steps in the transition of these programs from research into clinical development.

4ImmunotherapiesCongress.com

The recent approval of BMS’s Yervoy (ipilumumab) and a succession of related programs advancing through clinical trials has generated increased interest in the development of antibody-based immunomodulators for cancer. Immunomodulatory Therapeutic Antibodies for Cancer will provide updates of clinical stage programs, and examine how these novel therapeutics influence trial design and the selection of clinical endpoints. Strategies for immune modulation that are most appropriate for targeting with antibodies will be considered, along with where combination regimens and new therapeutic formats can be effectively applied.
