Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is a highly prevalent malignancy with rising incidence, particularly among elderly and immunosuppressed individuals. Although most early-stage cases are cured with surgery, a relevant minority present with high…
Background
Pegenzileukin (SAR444245), a pegylated non-alpha recombinant human interleukin (IL)-2 variant, avoids engagement of the IL-2 receptor α subunit (IL-2Rα) chain and associated toxicities, while retaining engagement of IL-2Rβ,…
Background
Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (NACI) has shown promising results in treating esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), yet the mechanisms driving its efficacy remain poorly defined, limiting further optimization of this regimen.
Methods

Background
Mesothelin (MSLN)-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy shows an effective and long-lasting response in high MSLN-expressing tumors, but fails to treat tumors with heterogeneous levels of antigen expression. Here we descri…
Background
CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have transformed the treatment landscape for pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), yet relapses driven by antigen escape remain a major limitation. Dual-targeti…
Background
Urothelial carcinoma (UC) exhibits extensive infiltration of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). As the most frequently altered gene in UC, TP53 is recognized not only as a guardian of genomic integrity, but also as a potential architect o…
Maintenance of anticancer immunity without compromising immune tolerance remains a challenge. Immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs) are the guardians of immune tolerance that underpin prevention of autoimmune responses. Tregs express checkpoint…
Despite the success of immunotherapy, chemotherapy remains the backbone of front-line therapy for most patients with cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, T cell engagers, and adoptive cell therapies have traditionally been relegated to second-line or…
Background
Despite its viral etiology and immunogenic features, cervical cancer shows limited and often short-lived benefit from programmed cell death protein 1 blockade, currently the only approved immunotherapy for this disease. This limitation high…
Background
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a promising immunotherapy for patients with refractory or relapsed lymphoma or leukemia. However, inefficient activity and insufficient persistence of CAR T cells impede the durability of it…
