  • Patent number: 12600793
    Abstract: MAGE-A4, or Melanoma-Associated Antigen A4, is a cancer-testis antigen (CTA) on the X chromosome. The present disclosure provides MAGE-A4-specific chimeric antigen receptors and cells expressing such chimeric antigen receptors. In certain embodiments, engineered cells expressing the chimeric antigen receptors of the present disclosure are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing MAGE-A4. The engineered cells of the present disclosure are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced MAGE-A4-targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial. For example, engineered cells expressing the MAGE-A4-specific chimeric antigen receptors of the present disclosure are useful for the treatment of various cancers.

  • Publication number: 20240148867
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of increasing the efficacy of adoptive cell therapy (ACT) and methods of treating cancer, wherein the methods include administering to a subject with cancer in need thereof a combination therapy comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an ACT (e.g., an immune cell comprising a modified T cell receptor (TCR) against a tumor-associated antigen (TAA), or a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) against a TAA) and a therapeutically effective amount of a targeted immunocytokine (e.g., a fusion protein comprising an IL2 moiety and an immunoglobulin antigen-binding domain that binds to PD1). The combination therapy demonstrates increased anti-tumor efficacy, increased duration of tumor control and/or increased overall survival, as compared to a subject administered the ACT as monotherapy or the ACT in combination with a non-targeted immunocytokine.
