  • Publication number: 20240309324
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to compositions and methods useful for an adoptive cell therapy. Some embodiments of the disclosure relates to methods for producing a population of lymphocytes enriched in T stem cell memory cells (TSCM cells). Further provided are compositions containing a substantially pure population of TSCM cells that are therapeutically effective in treating various cancers, and kits containing such compositions. Methods for treating a subject having or suspected of having a cancer using the compositions and kits as disclosed herein are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240293461
    Abstract: The present invention relates to T cell compositions and methods of using the same in the context of therapy and treatment. In particular, the invention provides chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells that are modified to maintain functionality under conditions in which unmodified CAR T cells display exhaustion. Compositions and methods disclosed herein find use in inhibiting or reversing CAR T cell exhaustion (e.g., by modulating CAR surface expression) thereby enhancing CAR T cell function. Compositions and methods of the invention find use in both clinical and research settings, for example, within the fields of biology, immunology, medicine, and oncology.

  • Publication number: 20220401486
    Abstract: The present invention relates to T cell compositions and methods of using the same in the context of therapy and treatment. In particular, the invention provides T cells that are modified (e.g., genetically and/or functionally) to maintain functionality under conditions in which unmodified T cells display exhaustion. Compositions and methods disclosed herein find use in preventing exhaustion of engineered (e.g., chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells) as well as non-engineered T cells thereby enhancing T cell function (e.g., activity against cancer or infectious disease).

  • Publication number: 20210393628
    Abstract: This invention is in the field of medicinal chemistry. In particular, provided herein are compositions and methods for preventing or reversing T cell exhaustion. In certain embodiments, the present invention relates to methods of preventing or reversing T cell exhaustion by exposing T cells experiencing T cell exhaustion to a new class of small-molecules having a thiazole, imidazolepyridiazine or piperazinyl-methyl-aniline structure, or by expanding genetically engineered T cells in the presence of such small molecules.

  • Publication number: 20200101108
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for preventing or reversing T cell exhaustion. In particular, the present invention relates to methods of preventing or reversing T cell exhaustion by exposing T cells experiencing T cell exhaustion to particular tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g., dasatinib, ponatinib), or by expanding genetically engineered T cells in the presence of particular tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g., dasatinib, ponatinib).
