13:50am Presentation: Cilta-cel: The Story of a Llama-Inspired, Autologous CAR-T Product for Multiple Myeloma

  • Describe the development of Cilta-cel 
  • Review of the safety and efficacy of Cilta-cel for myeloma, including early phase and randomized studies 
  • Discuss the future applications of autologous CAR-T for myeloma 

Jordan Schechter, Vice President, Clinical Development, Cellular Therapy, Janssen

 

14:05am Presentation: Enhancing efficacy of CAR T-cells against solid tumours by optimising CAR structure. 

  • Efficacy of CAR T-cells against the majority of solid tumours has been underwhelming. 
  • Optimisation of CAR structure from a linear to a lateral conformation significantly enhances T-cell function. 
  • T-cells expressing lateral CARs provide the perfect chassis with which to pair appropriate armouring technologies.
