Overview

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell (’Living Drug’) immunotherapy is showing promising results in the treatment of cancers. There are nine ongoing clinical trials (Phase I & II) at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) and more are on track to be initiated next year. Over the years, MSK has accumulated a breadth of knowledge about developing and translating these clinical trials from bench to bedside – choosing the ideal antigen target, constructing clinical grade CARs and vectors, investigating CARs in clinically relevant models, manufacturing, quality control, developing protocols for FDA approval, optimizing consent forms that cover emerging ethical issues, managing complications, and conducting world-class correlative science.

MSK faculty, along with national and international experts, will discuss the clinical and translational aspects of cell therapies (CARs, TCRs, NKs), both for hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.

Participants are invited to join the course faculty for a networking reception at Rockefeller University’s Weiss Café on November 16th.

Rockefeller University
1230 York Avenue, New York, NY
5:00-7:00 pm
