The phase 1 trial aimed to investigate the enhanced in vivo anti-tumor activity of a fully humanized CAR T targeting mesothelin compared to a murine-derived counterpart, focusing on improving persistence and efficacy. Researchers noticed enhanced M5 CAR T cell persistence in mesothelin-expressing cancers, suggesting avenues for improving clinical outcomes in CAR T cell […]...

Development and interpretation of a pathomics-driven ensemble model for predicting the response to immunotherapy in gastric cancer

Development and interpretation of a pathomics-driven ensemble model for predicting the response to immunotherapy in gastric cancer

Background Only a subset of patients with gastric cancer experience long-term benefits from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Currently, there is a deficiency in precise predictive biomarkers for ICI efficacy. The aim of this study was to …

Safety and biological outcomes following a phase 1 trial of GD2-specific CAR-T cells in patients with GD2-positive metastatic melanoma and other solid cancers

Safety and biological outcomes following a phase 1 trial of GD2-specific CAR-T cells in patients with GD2-positive metastatic melanoma and other solid cancers

Background Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies specific for the CD19 and B-cell maturation antigen have become an approved standard of care worldwide for relapsed and refractory B-cell malignancies. If CAR-T cell therapy for non-hematological …

Colorectal cancer-specific IFN{beta} delivery overcomes dysfunctional dsRNA-mediated type I interferon signaling to increase the abscopal effect of radiotherapy

Colorectal cancer-specific IFN{beta} delivery overcomes dysfunctional dsRNA-mediated type I interferon signaling to increase the abscopal effect of radiotherapy

Background Cancer-intrinsic type I interferon (IFN-I) production triggered by radiotherapy (RT) is mainly dependent on cytosolic double-stranded DNA (dsDNA)-mediated cGAS/STING signaling and increases cancer immunogenicity and enhances the antitumor immune response to increase therapeutic efficacy. However, …
