Abstract
Abstract: Immune modifying approaches for the treatment of cancer have been wildly successful, yet approved therapies are only the tip of the iceberg. Drugs in earlier stages of development represent a broad class of agents with numerous challenges for a successful drug discovery programme. For example, how do we demonstrate intra-tumoural immune modulation from a peripheral blood sample? How do identify the patients most likely to respond to immune-therapy? Here I will discuss the bioinformatic approaches we are taking to address these questions within AstraZeneca.
