CAR-T cell therapy: current limitations and potential strategies
Open accessAbstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is a revolutionary new pillar in cancer treatment. Although treatment with CAR-T cells has produced remarkable clinical responses with certain subsets of B cell leukemia or lymphoma, many challenges limit the therapeutic efficacy of CAR-T cells in solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Barriers to effective CAR-T cell therapy include severe life-threatening toxicities, modest anti-tumor activity, antigen escape, restricted trafficking, and limited tumor infiltration. In addition, the host and tumor microenvironment interactions with CAR-T cells critically alter CAR-T cell function. Furthermore, a complex workforce is required to develop and implement these treatments. In order to overcome these significant challenges, innovative strategies and approaches to engineer more powerful CAR-T cells with improved anti-tumor activity and decreased toxicity are necessary. In this review, we discuss recent innovations in CAR-T cell engineering to improve clinical efficacy in both hematological malignancy and solid tumors and strategies to overcome limitations of CAR-T cell therapy in both hematological malignancy and solid tumors.

“Despite their general tolerability, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) may induce cytokine storms in patients, and T cell-engaging bispecific antibodies and TCR/CAR-T engineered T cells, contingent on the target, could result in significant off-target tissue destruction, leading to associated morbidity and mortality (Sterner and Sterner, 2021; Johnson et al., 2022).”

“To address this, various immunotherapeutic strategies have emerged, including adoptive cell transfer, primarily utilizing genetically modified T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CAR T-cells) to recognize and eliminate cancer cells directly (Sterner and Sterner, 2021). Adjuvant therapies, such as dendritic cell, mRNA, and peptide-based vaccinations, aim to boost the patient’s anticancer”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
