CAR-NK cell therapy combined with checkpoint inhibition induces an NKT cell response in glioblastoma

Glioblastoma is the most aggressive primary brain tumor with limited efficacy of established therapies, and a pronounced immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Targeting HER2 with local immunotherapy allows for high tumor specificity in the brain with physiologically very low expression. Monother...

Description
Summary:Glioblastoma is the most aggressive primary brain tumor with limited efficacy of established therapies, and a pronounced immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Targeting HER2 with local immunotherapy allows for high tumor specificity in the brain with physiologically very low expression. Monotherapy with CAR-NK cells targeted against HER2 has previously shown efficacy in medium-sized GL261/HER2 tumors.
