Creating a Disruptive Cancer Pipeline
Some companies characterize creating a successful pipeline of disruptive cancer therapies as an engineering challenge, others arranging building blocks and others integrating capabilities from the marketplace – for many it is all of the above. Considerations are heavily tied to research and innovation and include discovering novel targets, novel single agent drugs and emerging novel mechanisms, new pathways and/or mechanisms of action, new molecular entities and technology acquisition strategies, among others. The panel, top industry leaders, investors and academic experts pulls back the curtain to discuss the considerations in pipeline development, the tradeoffs and what it takes to maintain success over time.
- Genomics, new approaches, anti-cancer immuno-therapy, defining the population of responders
- BioPharma – develop drugs along the type of cancers
- What is new around the corner
- clinical trials innovation: what is the frontier
- Amgen – pipeline ll drugs vs oncology drugs
- Small companies vs Big Pharma
- Gleevec for Leukemia,
- gene directed therapy – immune oncology is NOT new,
- find ways to use decision points: small molecule selection, combination – guidance by genotypic information ONE type of information
- Therapeutic not exists for many alterations, what technology will bring a therapeutic response
- chess board: engineered T-cells for Pediatric Leukemia – what Science is needd for new agents
- enzymes – gene editing for the immune system
- How do Scientists communicate at Novatris — culture was found deeply connected like I knew at Broad
- Generationally — connectivity, IT exceptional, pulled Presentations from Basel and SHanghai in minutes, the institution provides infrastructure that was not know in previous generation
- open competitive advantages vs silos
- biotech, Big Pharma and Dana Farber
- 1970s – leukemias, adults – no cure, Pediatrics ALL – solved
- Precision medicine we believe in — diagnostics and treatment requires a long rum, few successs in 03 years of big army fighting
- FDA – looks to industry and Academia, approving drugs, safety focus, make easy for Patients to participate in Clinical Trials
- focus on activities in the communities, academic centers, efficacy, 3D Printing, DNA organic transformed into cells,
- Clinical Trials requires education — to start therapy at vs srart of therapy directly
- rare diseases – 60% of Dana Farbers Patients are in Clinical Trial
- cost to participate in clinical study — should not be a point
- research is done to improve treatment
- Cancer Science: only in this area it is so expensive to develop, every biotech is contacting Dana Farber, scientists are investing careers in Cancer
- Combination drugs
- immuno-oncology
- technology and biology areas
- cytotoxicity – patients failing treatment
- small comapnies wish to create VALUE, big pharma wish a good drug to be developed – some tension there
- biotech needs to demonstrate very fast success, the molecular and clinical jobs
- early drug development
- challange: Cancer Biology – acquired resistance, each drug effect of autonomous biology of tumor
- need for a shared enterprise among Big Pharma
- seeking proof of concept very fast – 1% of relevance to drugs in the future
- molecular defined subspace for durable response rate
- compensatory mechanism for the majority – de-risking vs focus on a specific type
- melanoma is my interest: there is a population for them not treatment helps
- Diagnostics and drug development needs to go together – Perfection is now expected ONLY from diagnostics not from Therapeutics
- inflammation of tumor at baseline
- HIV — how many drugs
- repertoire of drugs is unsatisfactory – drugs to colide earlier, wide range od drugs from multiple drug makers — Hospitals face decisions of related to which drug to use
- FDA — to establish a Center of Excellence on Cancer
- democratize and leverage research and access to existing clinical trials in hospitals vs Big Pharma using CROs
- access to information on mutations paired with drugs to identify which of the existing trials is the best for a given Patients
- Cancer Biology is in the hands of many small companies, class of therapy is established by interactions and the leadership of the first in class
- small companies, Boston-Cambridge eco-system: pathways are known by some lear=ding Scentistist from long time
