The scientific objectives of the CTHR program are to advance the understanding of interactions between tumor cells, immune cells, and microbes that mediate tumor development and progression to define mechanisms regulating host responses to tumor progression, and to advance novel therapies that exploit these interactions. CTHR members discover small molecules and place them on a pathway to clinical development, engaging clinicians and basic scientists to partner on innovative IITs. CTHR promotes frontier therapeutic research on microbiome-immunotherapy interactions and microbial-derived metabolites influencing epithelial and immune cell function. The program develops and translates immunotherapy modalities, such as DC and RNA-NP vaccines into first-in-human clinical trials. A group of medicinal chemists discover and develop a pipeline of new small molecule anti-cancer agents. A cadre of clinical trialists, 8 recruited to CTHR since the 2019 CCSG submission, translate UF findings into new clinical trials. Through the I2T3, structured processes were developed for translation of basic concepts to trials. CTHR thus advances preclinical-through-clinical evaluation of novel patient-specific therapies to address priority cancers of the CA engaging COE and members of the CAB in review and design of clinical trials.
Aims
The aims of the CTHR program are to elucidate principles of cancer immunobiology to develop novel immunotherapies for refractory malignancies; define microbiome function in cancer development and therapeutics; discover and develop targeted therapeutics engaging key cancer pathways; and translate scientific discoveries into early phase clinical trials.
