With clinical holds lifting there has been more investment and clinical progress in the gene therapy for muscular disorders space than ever before, yet the consequences of toxicity are not a distant memory. Despite the successes, there are still withstanding challenges for gene therapy developers targeting the muscle when it comes to optimizing delivery and navigating toxicity to develop truly safe and transformative therapeutics for muscular disorders patients.

The first industry-dedicated Gene Therapy for Muscular Disorders Summit will focus on overcoming the translational and clinical challenges of developing genetic therapies targeting muscular disorders, including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD), Pompe Disease and X-Linked Myotubular Myopathy.
With a focus on AAV and gene editing technologies and insights from Pfizer, Solid Biosciences, Audentes and Vertex, this niche 3-day agenda has been specifically designed to help industry experts to:

Optimize your promoter choice and navigate IP challenges for more efficient delivery to muscular targets
Discover the next generation capsids being developed for improved muscle selectivity and reduced immunogenic responses
Understand the biology of different immunogenic responses and hear feedback from trialled strategies to ensure optimal patient safety
Hear the latest research in muscular disorder biomarkers
Define clinically meaningful muscular endpoints to successfully and objectively measure muscular disease improvement
Tackle regulatory challenges to demonstrate gene therapy durability
Overcome clinical challenges to manage patient heterogeneity for patient centric and meaningful trials

Join your peers to share, learn and discuss at the first industry-focused Gene Therapy for Muscular Disorders. Overcome your immunogenicity challenges and mitigate toxicity with high doses targeting the muscle to successfully demonstrate durability with your gene therapy product.

STING & TLR-Targeting Therapies Summit
2021-05-25 - 2021-05-27 | Digital Event
This is the definitive drug development forum for research teams to investigate how to modulate the cGAS-STING and Toll-like receptor (7/8/9) pathways both as monotherapies and as adjuvants in combinatorial approaches.
This meeting comes at a critical point for the cancer immunotherapy field, as researchers look to increase patient response rates and the efficacy on checkpoint inhibitors in several solid tumor indications. Preclinical and early clinical data for modulators of the STING & TLR plus other innate immune checkpoint inhibitors has been hugely promising.

Use this key forum to hone your innate immune activation strategies and deliver safe and effective treatments through systematic and intra-tumoral administration which can stimulate the adaptive immune arm, counteract solid tumor-induced immunosuppression and increase response to checkpoint inhibitors.
View the event guide for the full agenda!
Innate Immune Checkpoints & Activation Pre-Focus Day
In addition to two full conference days to STING/TLR-targeting, there will be a pre-focus day specifically on innate immune checkpoints and the activation of specific cell types including natural killer cells, macrophages and myeloid-derived suppressor cells.
An executive speaker faculty will take you through the leading drug candidates aimed at inhibitory and activation receptors on key cellular component of the innate immune system.
