At the start of 2024, the first patients in a clinical trial investigating an mRNA cancer therapy were dosed. The Mobilize trial is investigating the mRNA-4359 therapy and its potential for treating melanoma, lung cancer and other solid tumour cancers. However, these therapies can cause severe adverse effects.

These platforms all induce double strand cuts in the chromosomal DNA that can be sealed by the cell, leading to a specific gene disruption, or resulting in a new target site for inserting DNA segments. Early phase clinical trials for gene editing therapies. Gene editing challenges and potential solutions.

Rolf Turk , Senior Manager, Genomics Medicine at Integrated DNA Technologies, examines how CRISPR is being used to enhance cancer therapies. These methods offer safer CAR T-based therapies, laying the foundation for clinical trials and the rapid development of a new generation of CAR T cells for both autologous and allogeneic use.

RA: With spatial biology being cross-disciplinary – in that it uses techniques in both gene expression analysis and immunofluorescence – is expertise in the field limited? There is a lack of data and case studies beyond pilot projects related to patient recruitment and clinical trials. Let’s take CAR T cells as an example.
