Dual targeting liver cancer by GPC3 CAR-T cells secreting a bispecific T cell engager antibody for an intracellular tumor antigen AFP (SITC 2023) - "Methods In this study, we engineered GPC3 CAR-T cells (OriC101) to secrete a bispecific T cell engager (BiTE) composed of a TCR mimic antibody targeting AFP-MHC complex (OriA373). Conclusions Hence, by leveraging dual orthogonal cytotoxic modalities with distinct specificities targeting surface and intracellular tumor-associated antigens, we have developed a promising strategy to overcome resistance to CAR-T cell therapy not only in liver cancer but also in other cancer types. Our results, demonstrating the superior activation and memory phenotype of GPC3 CAR-T cells secreting AFP-BiTE (OriC633–05), as well as its significantly enhanced anti-tumor activity against liver cancer cells with low GPC3 expression, and the potential for improved efficacy against liver cancer with high GPC3 expression, highlight the promising potential of this approach (figure 5)."
