Spencer Knight: In vivo CART-T landscape
Spencer Knight,
“In vivo CART-T landscape: In vivo CAR-T therapy is an innovative approach that modifies a patient’s immune cells directly within their body, eliminating the need for complex and time-consuming ex vivo processing. This therapy involves the insertion of synthetic receptors (CARs) onto the surface of T cells, enabling them to target/attack cancer cells with specific surface proteins.
Three Pillars of In Vivo CAR-T:
1. In vivo CAR-T therapy promises speed/expedited treatment processes.
2. The direct modification within the patient’s body enhances treatment accessibility.
3. The potential for reduced costs positions in vivo CAR-T as a cost-effective cancer treatment.
Despite its promises, in vivo CAR-T therapy introduces safety concerns tied to delivery methods and off-target effects. Consequently, continuous research and clinical trials are imperative to assess its safety and efficacy across diverse cancer types and patient demographics.
