About
SKC AND ITS ADVISORS SURVEY THE PEDIATRIC CANCER LANDSCAPE (PATIENT'S AND RESEARCH) TO UNDERSTAND AND PRIORITIZE THE GREATEST UNMET NEEDS AND DEVELOP PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS THEM. (1) SKC TAKES A GLOBAL APPROACH TO CURES (2) PRIORITY AND FOCUS ONLY ON LOWEST SURVIVAL CHILDHOOD CANCERS INCLUDING HIGH RISK SOLID TUMORS AND BRAIN TUMORS. (3) GO BEYOND FUNDING RESEARCH TO PATIENT CENTRIC APPROACH HELP DELIVER SOLUTIONS TO CHILDREN (4) UNDERTAKE A COALITION APPROACH TO OUR MISSION BECAUSE CHILDHOOD CANCER IS COMPLEX. WE OPENLY WORK WITH MULTIPLE STAKEHOLDERS IN PARTNERSHIP TOWARDS OUR MISSION. SURVIVAL RATES REMAIN UNSATISFACTORILY LOW FOR THE DEADLIEST CHILDHOOD CANCERS WHILE DECADES-OLD MODALITIES LIKE CHEMOTHERAPY AND RADIATION REMAIN THE STANDARDS-OF-CARE. EVEN IN THE AGE OF RAPID GENOMIC PROFILING, ALL NEWLY DIAGNOSED CHILDREN WITH HIGH RISK CANCERS UNDERGO THE SAME "ONE-SIZE FITS ALL" TREATMENT PROTOCOL DESPITE HAVING DIFFERENT PREDICTED PROGNOSES AND MUTATIONS. SKC IS WORKING WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO HELP THEM IMPROVE CURRENT CLINICAL TRIAL STRUCTURES SO THAT NEWLY DIAGNOSED CHILDREN HAVE MORE TREATMENT PROTOCOLS OPTIONS MATCHED TO THEIR PROGNOSIS/ TO CUSTOMIZATION WHICH WOULD MATCH THE RIGHT PROTOOCOL FOR THE RIGHT RISK/PROGNOSIS. SKC PRIORITIZES THE DELIVERY OF TRANSFORMATIVE,NEXT-GENERATION CANCER THERAPIES TO THIS POPULATION THAT INCLUDES IMMUNOTHERAPY, VACCINES, CELLULAR THERAPY, NOVEL/SYNERGISTIC COMBINATION TREATMENTS, NEW TARGETED DRUGS, INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY TECHNIQUES AND NOVEL THERAPY DELIVERY MECHANISMS. OUR CRITERIA FOR IDENTIFYING AND SUPPORTING THESE NOVEL APPROACHES AIMS TO PROVIDE MORE EFFECTIVE AND LESS TOXIC TREATMENT OPTIONS THAN THE CURRENT STANDARD-OF-CARE SKC HAS HELPED TO DEVELOP 27 CLINICAL TRIALS FOR CHILDREN RESULTING IN 25 NEW EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR CHILDREN WITH HIGH-RISK CANCERS AND 10 PRECLINICAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. 2018 INCLUDED ADDITIONAL PROJECTS TESTING NOVEL COMBINATION AGENTS FOR THE HIGH RISK BRAIN TUMOR ETMR AND A NEW PLATFORM FOR TESTING A MENU OF THERAPEUTIC OPTIONS TO INFORM SUBSEQENUT TREATMENT CHILDREN WITH MEDULLOBLASTOMA USING ORGANOTYPIC SLICE CULTURES.
