New technologies and therapies designed to facilitate development of personalized treatments are rapidly emerging in the field of biomedicine. Strikingly, the goal of personalized medicine refined the concept of therapy by developing cell-based therapies, the so-called "living drugs". Breakthrough advancements were achieved in this regard in the fields of gene therapy, cell therapy, tissue-engineered products and advanced therapeutic techniques. The Advanced Therapies in Healthcare symposium, organized by the Clinical Research Center Department of Sidra Medicine, in Doha, Qatar (October 2017), brought together world-renowned experts from the fields of oncology, hematology, immunology, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and stem cells to offer a comprehensive picture of the status of worldwide advanced therapies in both pre-clinical and clinical development, providing insights to the research phase, clinical data and regulatory aspects of these therapies. Highlights of the meeting are provided in this meeting report.
旨在促进个性化治疗发展的新技术和疗法在生物医药领域迅速涌现。引人注目的是,个性化医学的目标通过开发基于细胞的疗法,即所谓的“活药物”,使治疗理念得到了精细化发展。在基因治疗、细胞治疗、组织工程产品和先进治疗技术等领域,这方面取得了突破性进展。由卡塔尔多哈锡德拉医学临床研究中心部门组织的“医疗保健先进疗法”研讨会(2017 年 10 月)汇集了来自肿瘤学、血液学、免疫学、炎症、自身免疫性疾病和干细胞等领域的世界知名专家,全面介绍了全球在临床前和临床开发阶段的先进疗法的状况,为这些疗法的研究阶段、临床数据和监管方面提供了深入了解。本次会议的重点内容在这份会议报告中有所体现。
