Oncology Pipeline 2022: Spotlight On Trends And Agents To Watch

Pricing: Free for Members and Non-Members

This activity is supported by an educational grant from Janssen Biotech, Inc., administered by Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC, and Gilead Sciences, Inc.

Course Description

The cancer treatment pipeline has continually expanded over the past decade resulting in record breaking numbers of approvals in the United States. With more than 1,300 agents currently in development, the oncology pipeline shows no signs of slowing down. New gene and cell therapies, precision medicine, immuno-oncology combination therapies, and accelerating development timelines have been identified as disruptive trends toward addressing unmet needs and improving patient outcomes.

Faculty of this pipeline session will cover key agents newly approved or currently in late-stage development with a focus on novel mechanisms of action, cell and gene therapies, and personalized, mutation-driven treatments. The potential impact to current standards of care and what this may mean for payers will be discussed.
