Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies (CAR T) have proven effective in several hematological cancers and are advancing across the pipelines of other types of tumors with limited efficacy, such as in the more complex environment of solid tumors.
During an Innovation Ignited webinar sponsored by Johnson & Johnson, experts talked about how precision medicine has helped advance the field of oncology and how those lessons can be applied to immunology.
The BioWorld Biopharmaceutical Index (BBI) climbed 16.92% in the first three quarters of the year, bolstered by second quarter (Q2) results despite disappointing clinical news from several players.

Claudin-6 (CLDN6) is a tight junction protein that has been found to be up-regulated in around 20 different types of cancer, among them ovarian, endometrial and germ cell tumors. Conventional T-cell engagers (TCEs), although effective, may be improved with costimulation to overcome T-cell exhaustion due to CDE3 stimulation alone.
