Designed to address the unique considerations for designing clinical trial protocols focused on cancer immunotherapy, the SCION Workshop connects participants with experienced faculty in the field and dedicated patient advocates to advise on clinical trial protocol development.

Maximizing the value of phase III trials in immuno-oncology: A checklist from the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC)

Phase III trials are how new treatments for cancer demonstrate benefit and establish their place in the treatment paradigm to offer improved outcomes for patients. These trials are time- and resource-intensive, involving hundreds of patients and spanning multiple years. As many as half of phase III trials in oncology are unsuccessful, representing substantial losses in terms of monetary investment and opportunity for patients to receive a more effective treatment for their disease.

SITC Publishes Consensus Definitions for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Related Adverse Events Terminology

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment of several solid tumors, providing deep and durable responses for many patients. However, the anti-tumor mechanism of action of ICIs can also cause aberrantly active self-damaging immune responses, leading to immune-related adverse events (irAEs). The natural history, response to treatment, and patterns of irAEs vary widely, ranging from short-term inflammatory conditions to prolonged inflammation and damage to organs leading to permanent dysfunction.
