Advances in CAR-T Cell Therapies for Glioma

Thursday, June 13, 2024
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET

Complimentary Registration!  


This activity is provided by the Society for Neuro-Oncology.

Target Audience
Neuro-oncologists, medical oncologists, neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, radiologists, neuropathologists, physicians/scientists, clinical and laboratory trainees, and allied health professionals.

Statement of Need/Program Overview
 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is an innovative immunotherapy technique holding immense potential in oncology. This groundbreaking approach involves genetically modifying immune cells to target tumor-specific antigens, successfully treating some hematologic malignancies. High-grade gliomas, aggressive primary brain tumors with limited treatment options, present a significant challenge in oncology. However, recent reports have showcased promising early outcomes using CAR T-cell therapy for recurrent high-grade gliomas. 
This webinar aims to outline recent advances in CAR T-cell therapy for gliomas, discussing its implications and challenges in neuro-oncology. Additionally, it will explore future directions for research in this field.

Educational Objectives 
After participating in this CME activity, participants should be able to:
  • Discuss various approaches to CAR T-cell therapy
  • Review recent advances to CAR T-cell therapies for glioma
  • Identify challenges and barriers to using CAR T-cell therapy for gliomas and other CNS tumors
Faculty
  • Steven Bagley - University of Pennsylvania
  • Bryan Choi - Mass General Research Institute
  • Michelle Monje - Stanford University
