Program Overview:
Immunotherapy harnesses the body's own immune system to fight cancer and it is revolutionizing cancer treatment. Unprecedented outcomes have been observed in cancers that were once perceived as hopeless such as melanoma and lung cancer. Nonetheless, not all patients respond to treatment, and an understanding of efficacy drivers is lacking. Can co-clinical trials provide the necessary mechanistic insight to identify the right immunotherapies and combinations to improve patient outcomes and speed up drug approvals?

Johnson & Johnson Innovation, JLABS (JLABS) is bringing together top experts to discuss the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities with the co-clinical approach to immunotherapy development. Join our speakers as they present the latest research in this area and engage in a panel discussion to obtain insights into novel immunotherapies of the future.
