Key Messages:

 

  • With the advent of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapy to treat cancer, a new category of targetable biomarkers has emerged that are associated with the surface of malignant cells and serve as targets for cytotoxic T cells​
  • By modeling target mRNA expression from large scale genomic datasets, selection of targets with desirable properties can be used to maximize patient coverage​
  • We showed that with 5-7 CAB-CAR-T products it is possible to treat 90% of patients with solid tumor malignancies
