Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a therapeutic option for a variety of blood cancers but is ineffective at treating solid tumors and could cause inflammation and neurotoxicity. To overcome these barriers, scientists attach CARs to other immune cells. Unlike CAR T cells, CAR macrophages efficiently penetrate solid tumors, while CAR invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells reduce the risk of hyperinflammation. In this webinar, Julie O’Neal will talk about using CAR iNKT cells as an alternative approach to treating multiple myeloma.
Topics to be covered
- CAR iNKT cells as an alternative to CAR T cells for multiple myeloma treatment
- Engineering CAR macrophages in situ for glioblastoma cell therapy
