?5 Things You Need to Know from Our Recent Gene Therapy Webinar

Worldwide Clinical Trials

It really is—there has been a 10x increase in cell and gene therapies in the clinical development pipeline since 2012. Most of this pipeline focuses on oncology and rare disease investigational therapeutics, and most, unsurprisingly, are in the earlier phases of development. The cell and gene therapy pipeline is booming.

ImmunityBio’s hAd5 T-Cell COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate Shows Complete Protection of Airways in Non-Human Primates

The Pharma Data

The vaccine targeted both the inner nucleocapsid (N) and the outer spike (S) proteins of the virus to maximize the immune response. The study showed this broad immune response led to the complete clearance of the virus in a matter of days after infection of previously-vaccinated primates.

Kiromic Announces the Filing of Key European Patents for Its Chimeric PD-1 (chPD1) Target

The Pharma Data

Barber’s work will give Kiromic a significant acceleration in the clinical development of its therapy platform and an even more significant advantage over its competitors. Chimeric PD-1 T-cells also release cytokines to further initiate immune responses to eradicate the tumor cells. “We believe Prof.

Neoadjuvant Opdivo (nivolumab) Plus Chemotherapy Significantly Improves Pathologic Complete Response in Patients with Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Phase 3 CheckMate -816 Trial

The Pharma Data

The scientific rationale for using immunotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting is twofold: it presents the earliest opportunity to treat cancer cells that have spread in the body without detection, and the presence of a tumor during immunotherapy treatment may enable a stronger immune response, potentially making the treatment more effective.
