Abstract We conducted a phase I clinical trial of anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CART-BCMA) with or without anti-CD19 CAR (huCART19) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients responding to third- later-line therapy (phase A, N = 10) high-risk first-line B, 20), followed by early lenalidomide pomalidomide maintenance. observed no high-grade cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and only one instance low-grade neurologic toxicity. Among 15 subjects measurable disease, 10 exhibited partial...
Abstract Although monoallelic expression (MAE) is a frequent genomic event in normal tissues, its role tumorigenesis remains unclear. Here we carried out single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays on DNA and RNA from large cohort of pediatric adult brain tumor tissues to determine the genome-wide rate MAE, specific cancer-related genes, clinical consequences MAE tumors. We also used targeted genotyping examine tumor-related genes development specifically examined at TP53 IDH1. The was higher than...
The success of chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapies targeting solid tumors is limited by the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. We demonstrate that endowing CAR cells with ectopic interleukin-9 (IL-9) signaling co-expressing an IL-9 receptor, rewires fate under stress to enhance anti-tumor efficacy. In preclinical models, IL-9-signaling exhibit increased expansion, persistence, and infiltration, resulting in superior control at significantly lower doses than conventional...

<h3>Background</h3> There is an urgent need for treatment advancements in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), as current chemotherapy regimens and novel immunotherapeutic approaches have shown limited efficacy.<sup>1</sup> Mesothelin (MSLN) a promising target CAR T cell therapies PDAC due to its high expression. However, therapy has efficacy solid tumors, partly the acquisition of dysfunctional phenotype upon chronic antigen exposure.<sup>2</sup> Strategies overcome such are essential...

<h3>Background</h3> This study explores the synergistic potential of combining mouse mesothelin-specific chimeric antigen receptor (mmeso-CAR) T cells and a CD40 agonist (αCD40) to enhance CAR cell overall immune response against pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in syngeneic models. <h3>Methods</h3> The subcutaneous PDAC model was established using KPC-derived line. Mice were treated with mmeso-CAR cells, αCD40, or combinations both. In vivo therapeutic efficacy evaluated endpoint...
