They aspire to control the immune system. By the time a patient is sitting in front of an oncologist, cancer has evaded their immune system. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CARs) are reprogrammed immune cells, hot-wired to circumvent immune-evasion. Clinical trials for CARs against liquid tumor cancers, like acute lymphoblastic leukemia andlymphoma, have shown transformative results for patients unresponsive to standard therapy.However, limited efficacy against solid tumor cancers, life-threatening toxicities, and limited persistence are impediments to these therapies making a wider impact on cancer patients.Chimera Bioengineering solves the challenges of CARs with drug-responsive gene regulators, which allow us to re-program the "software" of the immune system. They design CAR behavior that promises to minimize toxicity, maximize efficacy and extend persistence so that CARs can lead to cures.w
