Inclusive of accommodation for 3 fixed nights (06th, 07th, 08th December 2015), group meals & selected beverages, refreshment breaks and the gala dinner.
There is a growing realization that the rational design and optimization of combination therapies is critical to achieving practical successes in the field of Oncology. The heterogeneous and evolving nature of tumors in the clinical setting serves to readily defeat single-agent targeted therapies.
The traditional paradigm of selecting combinations based on synergy in preclinical experiments sidesteps the fundamental challenge of Oncology combination development- will the combination possess a broader therapeutic window than each drug alone?
In this conference, we will discuss ways in which this critical challenge can be addressed in a targeted manner.
Key Sessions
- Biology of novel combinations
- Case studies in preclinical and clinical development of combinations
- Optimizing combination design using mathematical modeling (schedule selection, dose optimization and indication selection)
- Development of multidrug cocktails (techniques and case studies)
Learning Objectives
- How to translationally project added clinical benefit of a second agent in a combination
- How to design combination clinical trials for efficient optimization during Phase I
- How to leverage mathematical modeling and statistics to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of preclinical and clinical study designs
Target Audience
Life scientists and medical professionals interested in learning about the rational design and optimization of combination therapies in cancer.
