Speaker Profile

M.D., Pediatric Oncologist, Stanford

Biography
I am a pediatric oncologist actively pursuing immunotherapy research with a focus on translating cellular therapies. In the laboratory, I engaged in CAR T cell engineering and studies of T cell subset optimization for adoptive transfer. I lead early phase clinical trials studying alternatives to CD19-monospecific targeting, including bispecific CAR and CD22 CAR development, and am a co-investigator studying GD2-specific CAR T cell therapy for fatal brainstem tumors. In efforts to expand our knowledge of ‘real world’ performance of CAR T cell therapy, I founded and chair the Pediatric Real-world CAR Consortium (PRWCC), a consortium with 38 participating core institutions and a mission to foster collaboration and create a forum for multi-institutional data and sample sharing. This is a growing collaborative network that is poised towards advancing outcomes following immunotherapy for pediatric cancers.

Patient-centric data – Real-World Evidence (RWE) and Real-World Data (RWD) - is becoming instrumental in the drug development process and for health care decisions in general. This data is not only informative for the process from discovery to new indications, clinical trial design, and drug development, it also can be of value to monitor post-marketing drug safety and for decision support in clinical practice. As the data becomes a decision driver, science companies and medical organizations are increasingly focused on leveraging RWD and RWE to not only better understand the patient populations using their drugs and the respective outcomes, but also to accelerate clinical decision support. This session will focus on the various aspects of integrating RWE and RWD to support drug development and clinical decision support.
