(NASDAQ: INMB), an immunology company focused on developing treatments that harness the patient’s innate immune system to fight disease, announced today that RJ Tesi, M.D., Co-Founder and CEO, will present at the 2nd Annual Advances in Immuno-Oncology USA Congress in San Diego taking place on Oct. 8 and Oct. 9. Dr. Tesi and CJ Barnum, Ph.D., Director of Neuroscience, will also present at the World Immunotherapy Congress taking place in Basel, Switzerland from Oct. 15 through 17. “The immuno-oncology field is rapidly growing, and emerging new therapies are at the center of attention,” said Dr. Tesi. “With 30% of breast cancer patients being HER2+, trastuzumab has made significant strides in the treatment of breast cancer. Yet, many HER2+ breast cancer patients have shown resistance to the drug. In my presentation during the Advances in Immuno-Oncology USA Congress, I will address one of the reasons for the resistance – specifically the presence of the MUC4 biomarker – and how we may be able to use a soluble TNF inhibitor, such as our drug candidate INB03, to increase the efficacy of trastuzumab in those women who have shown resistance.” Advances in Immuno-Oncology USA Congress brings together global pharmaceutical organizations, leading biotech companies and presents a unique chance to connect scientists on the latest innovations in immuno-oncology therapy development, research and more. “Our approach to treating patients with Alzheimer's disease is focused on targeting the root of the disease, chronic inflammation and how we can leverage biomarkers,” said Dr. Barnum. “It’s an honor to have the opportunity to present alongside some of the most prominent leaders in the immunotherapy community to approach the field from a non-oncology perspective.” The World Immunotherapy Congress is one of four conferences coordinated by the Festival of Biologics. The vision of the World Immunotherapy Congress is to bring together the full community and provide a single meeting point for where sciece meets business to make immunotherapy the cornerstone of the fight against cancer and other diseases.
