Panel Discussion: Walking the Therapeutic Tightrope Between Efficacy & Safety in B-Cell Targeted Therapies for Autoimmune Diseases vs Oncology
10:00 am - Wednesday 25th March 2026
Join this session to hear the thoughts of experts who have successfully moved precision therapies from the oncology world into autoimmune diseases:
- Discussing whether the therapeutic goal should be complete depletion of peripheral B-cells or elimination of tissue resident B-cells that drive local pathology
- Addressing the risks associated at various level of depletion such as elevated BAFF
- Debating whether targeted depletion of specific pathogenic subsets is superior to non-selective deep depletion
