A phase II trial of TAK-007 CAR-NK therapy in R/R B-cell NHL showed a 60.9% overall response rate. Preclinical CAR-NKT therapy eliminated endometrial tumors in models. Optimized costimulatory domains (2B4-DAP12) boosted CAR-NK tumor killing.
Recent studies demonstrate significant advances in engineered immune cell therapies, including enhanced CAR-T cells for solid tumors through NR2F6 deletion and mass production of CAR-NK cells from cord blood stem cells capable of generating millions of tumor-killing cells.
Recent advances in chimeric antigen receptor cell therapies highlight improved designs for CAR-T and CAR-NK treatments, with new strategies addressing efficacy and safety challenges in both hematologic and solid tumors.
