ESMO 2022: the evolution of TIL therapy – a highly promising approach

Pharmaceutical Technology

As an autologous cell therapy, manufacturing the infusion product is a highly specialised process involving tumour harvest and the extraction and large-scale ex vivo expansion of TILs. Numerous academic and pharma-led studies have investigated the efficacy of TILs in the melanoma setting, with response rates ranging from very low to 50%.

ImmunityBio’s hAd5 T-Cell COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate Shows Complete Protection of Airways in Non-Human Primates

The Pharma Data

In the study, immunization with the hAd5-COVID-19 vaccine inhibited SARS-CoV-2 virus replication in 100% (10 of 10) of Rhesus macaques, with a drop in viral replication starting on the first day of vaccine administration, and undetectable viral levels as early as three to five days post-challenge in most of the animals.

Kiromic Announces the Filing of Key European Patents for Its Chimeric PD-1 (chPD1) Target

The Pharma Data

Kiromic chPD1 has shown in preclinical data to show a cytotoxic response in 9 different in vivo models with 100% long-term PFS with the induction of host memory responses. Chimeric PD-1 T-cells also release cytokines to further initiate immune responses to eradicate the tumor cells.

A backpack full of multiple sclerosis therapy

The Pharma Data

A key driver of MS is the sudden inflammation of nerves caused by so-called myeloid cells of the “innate” immune system in vulnerable regions of the brain and spinal cord, which together form the central nervous system (CNS). million individuals that currently have to live with the disease.

Broadly neutralizing antibodies could provide immunity against SARS-CoV-2 variants

The Pharma Data

Two broadly neutralizing antibodies show great promise to provide long-acting immunity against COVID-19 in immunocompromised populations according to a paper published June 15 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM). However, immunocompromised individuals still lack effective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

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.
