Vivek Subbiah: My perspectives of tumor agnostic drug development

Vivek Subbiah recently shared on LinkedIn:

“So honored to present the “Future of Tissue-Agnostic Precision Medicine” at the triple meeting – THE NCI-EORTC-AACR meeting.

Presented my perspectives of tumor agnostic drug development. What an amazing meeting organized in Boston by American Association for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute (NCI) and EORTC – European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer

Some of my thoughts here…

• Every target is a pan target
• Tumors don’t follow rules and are malignant snowflakes.
• Every drug/every target should be explored in tumor agnostic setting
• There is no undruggable target
• Our patients cannot wait for trials to be done in every disease

Thanks to Targets23 organizers for placing this session in the Main Hall prime time.”
