Amgen’s Growing Immunotherapy Arsenal

When it comes to enlisting the cancer-fighting potential of the body’s immune defenses, Amgen believes versatility is a virtue. Dave Reese discusses Amgen’s growing cancer immunotherapy research capabilities. Large numbers of immune cells (T cells in particular) are frequently found within or adjacent to melanoma tumors, indicating that the tumors attract the attention—if not the action—of the immune system. True to its reputation as one of the most ‘immunogenic‘ cancers, melanoma now has more U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved immunotherapy (immune system-targeting) drugs than any other cancer type. As a consequence, metastatic melanoma is no longer the universally fatal disease it was even just 3 or 4 years ago.
