AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy and radiation, are inadequate for treating cancer and often associated with severe side effects, while existing cancer immunotherapies do not demonstrate a robust immune response.

Method used

Administering xenogeneic antigen presenting cells derived from swine expressing alpha-1,3 galactosyltransferase to patients via intratumoral injection, which can trigger a specific immune response against tumors, including solid cancers resistant to chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

Benefits of technology

The method induces an effective immune response against tumors, including abscopal effects, and can be administered in combination with other anti-cancer therapies, providing a robust treatment option with reduced side effects.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods for treating a tumor in a subject via administering (e.g., by intratumoral injection) a composition comprising antigen presenting cells obtained from a species that is different than the subject, i.e., xenogeneic antigen presenting cells. The source of such xenogeneic antigen presenting cells could be one or more swine (e.g, a swine that expresses alpha- 1,3 galactosyltransferase). The present disclosure also relates to methods of treating tumors via administering the xenogeneic antigen presenting cells in combination with other anti-cancer therapies. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising xenogeneic antigen presenting cells.
