Patient Access to Testing and the Promise of Precision Medicine

Jennifer Quigley, Senior Director, Global Precision Diagnostics Hematology, Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Biomarker testing enables precise therapeutic decisions, from timely and accurate diagnoses through treatment selection and monitoring. As our medicines and technologies become more sophisticated, capable of curing or controlling disease, we envision a world in which most diseases are cured and no longer a threat to living our best lives. However, widespread patient access to testing is critical to realizing this vision. We need creative solutions and collective efforts.

Unlocking the Potential of Novel HER2-Targeting ADCs

Patrik Vitazka, PhD, Senior Director, Companion Diagnostics, Daiichi Sankyo, Inc.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are one of the fastest growing classes of anticancer therapeutics in recent years. The unique design of ADCs, comprising a specific antibody conjugated to a cytotoxic payload via a linker, enables efficient and specific drug delivery to antigen-expressing tumor cells. Trastuzumab deruxtecan is a novel HER2-directed ADC that has been evaluated as a treatment for several HER2-expressing cancers. Here we provide an update on the recent companion diagnostic (CDx) approvals for this novel ADC agent, including the first CDx approval for the HER2-low metastatic breast cancer and the first NGS-based approval for the HER2- mutated NSCLC.

10:50 am PANEL DISCUSSION:

Clinical Adoption of Companion Diagnostics: What’s Still Holding Us Back?

PANEL MODERATOR:

Lourdes Barrera, PhD, Executive Director, Global Medical Affairs, Merck

Although companion diagnostic tests are the keystone of personalized medicine, there are still many roadblocks to their practical implementation. Among others, regulations for each diagnostic differ drastically, uncertainty surrounding the coverage by payers of diagnostic tests, some doubt as to how cost-effective they are as well as clear quality standards. We will reflect on this and other barriers and identify potential drivers to overcome them.

Navigating the Regulatory Approval Process for Non-Oncology Diagnostic Tests

Meggan Czapiga, PhD, Director and IVD Lead, Global Regulatory Affairs Devices, UCB BioSciences

Despite significant challenges, drug companies have been increasing their investment in the discovery and implementation of patient selection biomarkers that focus on non-oncology areas. Outside of oncology, this path is not well paved including in the regulatory space. This talk will highlight the principles for co-development of a CDx with a non-oncology therapeutic product, communication strategies for coordinating investigational CDx tests with the FDA, and will address some of the current challenges for co-drug/device development programs in rare disease and cell and gene therapy programs.

Precision Medicine Outside Oncology: A Whole New World

PANEL MODERATOR:

Marielena Mata, PhD, Senior Director and Diagnostic Lead, Oncology Program, Pfizer Inc.

Big Diagnostics: 30 Years of Impact

PANEL MODERATOR:

Mara G. Aspinall, Managing Director, BlueStone Venture Partners; Professor of Practice, Arizona State University; Advisor, The Rockefeller Foundation

Healthcare depends on diagnostics. We all know that diagnostics is the glue that holds the healthcare together and that 70% of medical decisions are informed by a diagnostic - but does that say enough? More than 3.5 million people work in diagnostic industry. The number of companies is at an all-time high. COVID showed the world how valuable a test can be. But with all the changes of the last few years - there have been constants - the industry’s largest players. From the labs to manufacturers, from services to products, there are a few companies that have seen it all. In this panel, we talk to them about the good and bad, challenges and opportunities and most importantly, the impact of the last 30 years.

Liquid Biopsy in the Clinic: The Newest Precision Medicine Frontier

Razelle Kurzrock, MD, Professor, Medicine, Associate Director, Clinical Research, Linda T. and John A. Mellowes Endowed Chair of Precision Oncology, Medical College of Wisconsin; CMO, Worldwide Innovative Network (WIN) for Personalized Cancer Therapy

The final frontier for cancer elimination may be early detection. Liquid (usually blood-based) biopsies may potentially identify early-stage cancer, allowing for simple curative interventions. Cell-free DNA, extracellular vesicles, and DNA methylation are transformative cancer screening methodologies. However, critical issues remain: addressing false positives when large populations are screened; optimizing assays for single cancer versus across cancers; assessing impact of lead-time bias on survival impact; and applications in high-versus lower-risk patients.

9:40 am

Liquid Biopsy Use in Precision Oncology

Jonathan Beer, Worldwide Precision Diagnostics Strategic Intelligence Lead, Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Precision medicine therapies have demonstrated benefits for cancer patients but are dependent on biomarker results for prescription. Four key barriers to optimal precision oncology treatment exist: Awareness, Availability, Adoption, and Access. Each hurdle will be examined through the lens of how LBx tests in today's healthcare system are well-suited to overcome some, but disadvantaged in other barriers, including examples of clinical utility from PADA-1 and DYNAMIC trials.

Precision Oncology in the 21st Century: Artificial Intelligence as a Tool to Reclassify Diseases

Sean Khozin, MD, MPH, Research Affiliate, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Despite the recent progress in the development of new anticancer therapies, many patients do not derive optimal benefit from available therapies and most cancers in the advanced stage remain incurable. Catalyzing the next wave of biomedical breakthroughs requires a paradigm shift in the classification of oncological diseases, moving to more objective methods derived from quantitative assessments closer to underlying mechanisms of disease by leveraging advances in AI and machine learning.

12:25 pm Vital Implementation of Patient-Centric, Broad-Use Biomarker Solutions for Genetically-Modified Cell and Gene Therapies

Shabnam Tangri, PhD, CSO, Navigate BioPharma Services, Inc.

Next generation of genetically modified cellular therapies such as CAR-T are increasingly used in either rare or pediatric indications. To minimize patient visits and maximize information, it is critical to implement novel biomarker solutions in cell therapy based clinical trials. This talk describes design principles for high parameter biomarker assays developed on state-of-the art technologies and their utility in cell therapy trials.
