3RD ANNUAL CANCER
VACCINES CONFERENCE

RADIOLOGY/IMAGING
SMi presents the 3rd
Annual Cancer Vaccines Conference taking place in Central London on Monday 15th
and Tuesday 16th September 2014. This year’s event will focus on the pre-clinical
entities that are crucial when moving forward in clinical trials. This will
include, assessing antigen discovery and genome sequencing in addition to
evaluation biomarkers and chimeric antigen receptors. There is a growing demand
for combination therapies and assessing clinical trial design, especially with
failures in the clinic increasing, the question to be asked is how can we learn
from this and move forward to ensure phase III developments and regulatory
approval? The agenda will focus on in vivo targeting of antigens to dendritic
cells for therapeutic anti-cancer vaccines, reviewing preventive vaccine novel
adjuvants programs as well as evaluating patient stratification. Furthermore,
it will enable a broad range of academics, small biotechs, and large
pharmaceutical companies to review analytical methods to enable reliability
upon standardization of assays.
