Leveraging the impact of gut microbes to advance the efficacy of CAR-T cell immunotherapy.
T cell therapy with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells is a curative-intent, transformative treatment aimed to boost antitumor abilities of host T cells against refractory/relapsed B cell malignancies and, recently, against refractory/relapsed myeloma. Major challenges of current CAR-T cell immunotherapies are the loss of long-term efficacy, the occurrence of toxicities including infections, and a lack of personalized patient strategies including biomarkers for response prediction and interventions to enhance CAR-T cell efficacy. This proposal builds on our first evidence for a major role of the gut microbiome in CAR-T cell therapy, and addresses these challenges by presenting a…
