Geoffrey Krampitz, MD, Department of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, Stanford School of Medicine, identifies tumorigenic cells and therapeutic targets in patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs).

Anti-CD47 agents and their safety profiles are currently being investigated in a phase I clinical trial, Krampitz explains. Community oncologists, he adds, should be aware of this class of drugs eventually coming down the pipeline.

Regarding safety, preclinical models reported low-grade anemia associated with anti-CD47 agents. However, this has not yet been observed in the phase I data, Krampitz adds.
