Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a ...
Fred Hutch Cancer Center scientists have developed an experimental strategy to give genetically engineered CAR T cells help they'd normally find within lymph nodes — but on the go, within the tumor.
A Phase 1 trial testing TG Therapeutics' CAR T-cell therapy azer-cel in progressive forms of MS is now recruiting across eight U.S. sites.
A naturally occurring byproduct of liver metabolism–the ketone body, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB)–can strengthen the fitness and antitumor activity of CAR T cells.
UCLA scientists have developed a next-generation CAR-T cell therapy that can overcome the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, a protective shield that tumors use to weaken immune cells, block ...
CAR T-cell immunotherapy improved progression-free and overall survival in patients with relapsed or refractory marginal zone ...
Researchers hope to undertake clinical studies in multiple cancers, including ovarian cancer, glioblastoma, and others.
The first engineered cell therapy has come to the fight against solid tumors. Fox Chase Cancer Center has begun using Tecelra, an FDA-approved treatment for synovial sarcoma.
Lurbinectedin (lurbi) + atezolizumab (atezo) as first-line (1L) maintenance treatment (tx) in patients (pts) with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC): Primary results of the phase 3 ...
In a phase 1 study, anti-CD7 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells induced complete remission in children and adults with relapsed or refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), with 82% ...
Scientists have uncovered new genetic rules that determine whether the immune system’s “killer” T cells remain powerful long-term defenders or become worn out and ineffective. By building a detailed ...
A proof-of-concept study opens up an avenue for treating solid tumours that express low levels of a target antigen.
