Because of the rarity of childhood cancers, biopharmaceutical companies often don’t pursue therapies to treat these conditions. The problem is that precision therapies developed to treat adult patients often don’t easily translate into treatments for pediatric patients. Day One Biopharmaceuticals is developing targeted therapies to address childhood cancers and then seeks to partner with larger pharmaceutical companies who may be interested in developing them for adult indications. We spoke to Samuel Blackman, head of research and development for Day One Biopharmaceuticals, about childhood cancers, the need for precisions therapies, and Day One’s business model that makes targeting childhood cancers a priority.
