Scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have developed a new CAR-Enhancer platform to enhance CAR-T cells in-vivo. A target antigen fused with a low-affinity enhancer molecule enables the precise targeting of the CAR-T cells to improve activity and persistence in the body. Importantly, it also promotes the development of memory CAR-T, helping to prevent cancer relapse. https://lnkd.in/ePEfiEAA

Positive results from a clinical trial (NCT05859997) provide early validation for allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy to treat autoimmune diseases. TyU19, a genetically engineered allogeneic CAR-T therapy targeting CD19 developed by BRL Medicine, was administered to three patients. ✅ Complete B cell depletion was observed within two weeks ✅ Remission experienced by all 3 patients without severe adverse events, including cytokine release syndrome, during the six month follow up While the sample size is small, these results demonstrate the high safety and potential of off-the-shelf CAR-T cells in treating severe refractory autoimmune diseases. https://lnkd.in/g5HKS3ud #allogeneic #cartcelltherapy #autoimmunedisease

Vertex Pharmaceuticals has released new Phase I/II data evaluating their stem cell-derived islet cell therapy, VX-880, to treat type 1 diabetes. All 12 patients who received a single full dose infusion of VX-880 demonstrated islet cell engraftment and glucose-responsive insulin production by Day 90. Based on these positive results, the trial will be expanded to enroll ~37 participants as company progresses toward pivotal development. #diabetes #stemcelltherapy https://lnkd.in/dU97PBQM
