Report of the 14th International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma (ICML) Closed Workshop on Future Design of Clinical Trials in Lymphomas.

Abstract

The 14th ICML held in Lugano in June 2017 was preceded by a closed workshop (organized in collaboration with the American Association for Cancer Research and the European School of Oncology) where experts in preclinical and clinical research in lymphomas met to discuss the current drug development landscape focusing on critical open questions that need to be addressed in the future to permit a more efficient drug development paradigm in lymphoma. Topics discussed included both preclinical models that can be used to test new drugs and drug combinations, as well as the optimal design of clinical trials and the endpoints that should be used to facilitate accelerated progress. This report represents a summary of the workshop. <i>Clin Cancer Res; 24(13); 2993-8. ©2018 AACR</i>.
