ZIOPHARM Oncology, Inc. (ZIOP), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of new cancer immuno-therapies, declared the publication of a preclinical study in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, demonstrating the preferential targeting of solid tumor cells over healthy cells using engineered chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. The article, titled “Tuning sensitivity of CAR to EGFR density limits recognition of normal tissue while maintaining potent anti-tumor activity,” is accessible online first at cancerres.aacrjournals.org, and was highlighted in a press release recently by AACR.
Abnormally-expressed antigens on tumors, such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on aggressive brain tumors such as glioblastoma, can be overexpressed relative to lower, basal levels on normal tissues. Taking advantage of this observation, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center tuned the binding affinity of CARs to activate T cells based on the density of EGFR expression. The approach was based on the clinical toxicity exhibited by the EGFR-specific antibodies cetuximab and nimotuzumab, which recognize overlapping epitopes and exhibit different kinetics of binding to EGFR. The lower affinity of nimotuzumab has been credited with absence of adverse events relative to cetuximab.
ZIOPHARM Oncology, Inc., a biotechnology company, employs gene expression, control, and cell technologies to deliver cell-based therapies for the treatment of cancer. Its synthetic immuno-oncology programs, in partnership with Intrexon Corporation and the MD Anderson Cancer Center, comprise chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) and other adoptive cell based approaches that use both non-viral and viral gene transfer methods for broad scalability.
