Immunotherapeutic approaches have revolutionized the treatment of multiple cancers and a large diversity of immunomodulation technologies compete now to reach market authorization.
It is accepted that the characteristics of each patient’s tumor microenvironment (TME) before, during and after a treatment have a major influence on therapy response. The challenge for immunotherapies developers is then to map the key biomarkers of this very complex and diverse TME, to link them to the mechanism of action of the investigated drug and leverage this information with the objective of rationalizing and accelerating the pace of clinical programs from early phases to registration.
The TMExplore TM is a unique tissue-based approach, developed by HalioDx, combining different technologies and an in-house immuno-oncology expertise perfectly adapted to the comprehensive characterization of the tumor microenvironment. From one to hundreds of biomarkers, this customizable solution allows to identify precise cell populations, observe gene expression profiling and focus on biomarkers spatial analysis via multiplex IHC technologies. All those parameters can be combined into an Immunogram multimodal analysis, providing a 360 degree view of the tumor microenvironment.
This unique solution can assist biopharma companies to get meaningful insights from their samples used in clinical trials and gain knowledge in drug mechanism of action and its impact on the immune contexture of the tumor.
Speakers
Jérôme Galon, PhD, Director, Inserm, Cordeliers Research Center, Paris, France
Jérôme Galon is director of research at INSERM (French NIH) and head of the laboratory of Integrative Cancer Immunology, in Paris, France. He is also associate director and co-founder of the European Academy of Tumor Immunology (EATI), board member of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC), co-founder of HalioDx company and the chairman of its scientific council. His work on the comprehensive analysis of the tumor microenvironment led to the concept of cancer immune contexture.
Jérôme Galon pioneered Immunoscore and is the principal investigator of the Worldwide Immunoscore Consortium. He has been consultant and/or served on the scientific advisory board of 28 biotech and pharmaceutical companies. His contributions have been recognized with numerous awards, including the William B Coley Award, USA (2010), the prestigious European Patent Office (EPO, EU) as European Inventor 2019 for his Immunoscore®, the Senior Research Prize Jean Valade from the Fondation de France (2020) and on January 1st 2020, he was appointed Knight of the Legion of Honour by presidential decree.
