Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this meeting, participants are now able to:
- Analyze cancer immunotherapy agents currently in development by identifying their target molecules and mechanisms of action
- Discuss strategic considerations of combinations and biomarkers in the development of new cancer immunotherapies
- Identify molecules beyond PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4 that are being targeted in new cancer immunotherapy agents
