Junction opener enables CAR T cell treatment of solid tumors

SRSteven J. ReedSSShibbu SharmaCNCarrie Novák

Key Points

  • This research explores a new method to improve CAR T cell treatment effectiveness against solid tumors.
  • Utilized Junction Opener technology in combination with CAR T cell treatment
  • Tested on solid tumor-bearing mice
  • Evaluated tumor control metrics after treatment
  • Enhanced tumor control observed in treated mice
  • Junction Opener improves CAR T cell access to tumor sites
  • Potential for greater effectiveness of CAR T cell therapy in solid tumors

Abstract

Physical barriers presented by solid tumors limit CAR T cell efficacy. Thus, technologies to increase CAR T cell access to solid tumors could have massive implications in advancing CAR T cell therapies. Here we demonstrate that treatment of solid tumor-bearing mice with our Junction Opener technology and CAR T cells enhances tumor control - potentially enabling CAR T cell immunotherapy for solid tumors.
