How mice with humanised immune systems are advancing cell-based immunotherapy

Drug Discovery World

Immunotherapies have become more popular due to their ability to trigger and train the patient’s immune system to recognise and attack tumour cells, provide strong immune responses, and reduce the severity of adverse side effects generally associated with chemotherapies. Jespersen et al.

Amtagvi (Lifileucel) Scores Landmark Win as First FDA-Approved T-Cell Therapy for a Solid Tumor

XTalks

TILs are immune cells that attack and penetrate tumors. The immune cells in both cases are then infused back into the patient. Amtagvi is approved for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma following prior treatment with a PD-1 inhibitor and a BRAF inhibitor if the tumor harbors a BRAF V600 mutation.
