Combination Cancer Therapy Methods and Agents (UCLA Case No. 2024-084)

UCLA researchers from the Department of Medicine, Pathology, & Laboratory Medicine and Molecular & Medical Pharmacology have identified a novel cell-based therapy that leads to enhanced immunotherapy efficacy and overcomes treatment resistance to immune checkpoint blockade in non-small cell lung cancer. BACKGROUND: Non-small cell lung cancer...

Engineered T Cells Capable of Simultaneous Tumor Targeting and Alteration of Tumor Microenvironment Through Vasculature Normalization (UCLA Case No. 2023-264)

UCLA researchers in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics have built a series of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells that target different antigens and secrete different anti-angiogenic proteins. Additionally, researchers also constructed bispecific CARs that respond to tumor antigen and pro-angiogenic molecules. BACKGROUND:...
