Join us for an insightful Q&A session with David Downs, where he will delve into clinical trials and share his expertise. David is a passionate advocate for innovative treatments and clinical trials, having experienced firsthand their life-saving potential. After being given less than a year to live, he joined a CAR T-cell trial and is now in full remission. Inspired by his own journey, David encourages others to consider medical trials as a treatment option. In this session, he will discuss various treatment options, share his personal cancer story, and provide valuable insights into global trial opportunities.

David is an ex-comedian, TV and radio actor, semi-finalist for New Zealander of the Year, and a self-described genetically modified organism who documented his battle with cancer in his book A Mild Touch of the Cancer. He is a popular MC and speaker, and he regularly presents and gives talks on his cancer journey and on the power of positive thinking and optimism.
