Bispecifics As the Next Go-To Oncology Therapeutic: Competing with CAR-T
9:30 am Bispecific Antibodies Redirect Synthetic Agonistic Receptor Modified T Cells Against Melanoma
Synopsis
- Presenting a study which puts forward the simultaneous and sequential targeting of melanoma-associated chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (MCSP) and tyrosinaserelated protein 1 (TYRP-1) as a strategy for the targeted therapy of melanoma
- Using bispecific antibodies as bridges to make adoptive T cell therapy modular and controllable
- Demonstrating the robust anti-tumor control of SAR-BiAb combination in immunocompetent syngeneic as well as patient-derived xenograft mouse models
10:00 am Panel Discussion: Overtaking CAR-T & ADCs in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Treatments: How Do Bispecific Therapies Fare in the Clinic?
Synopsis
- Setting the scene: bispecific antibodies as next class of treatments for multiple myeloma to emerge in the clinic
- Comparing the safety and efficacy profiles of these two treatments for a heavily pre-treated patient population Debating combination of the two therapies: which should be used first and does the usage of one prevent the future utility of the other?
