Abstract

A key mechanism of resistance to chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells (CAR-T) is loss or downregulation of target antigens. Low antigen expression on cancer cells prevents full CAR-T-cell activation and persistence. Pharmacologic modulation of target antigen expression offers a novel therapeutic strategy to drive more potent and durable responses.<i>See related article by Ramakrishna et al., p. 5329</i>.
