AZD5851 / AstraZeneca - LARVOL DELTA

Tyrosine kinase inhibitor combination therapies with AZD5851, dominant-negative TGFβRII armored anti-GPC3 CAR-T, for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (AACR 2025) - P1/2 | "The multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) sorafenib and lenvatinib are licensed for first line treatment of advanced/recurrent HCC. The TKI lenvatinib enhances TGFβRII dominant-negative receptor armored GPC3 CAR-T (AZD5851) anti-tumor efficacy in vivo without affecting acute CAR-T viability, proliferation, activation, effector cytokine production, and cytotoxicity. Therefore, combining AZD5851 with lenvatinib may be a promising combination therapeutic regimen for patients with HCC."
