Solution Overview

Problem

Current cancer treatments for solid tumors, such as chemotherapy, have limited effectiveness, necessitating the development of new therapeutic approaches.

Innovation Solution

A chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is designed comprising an antigen binding domain specific to CD276, combined with the transmembrane domain of CD8 and intracellular T cell signaling domains of 4-1BB and CD3 zeta, to target and destroy cancer cells expressing CD276.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If chemotherapy is used to treat solid tumors, then cancer cells can be targeted, but treatment effectiveness is limited and prognosis remains poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment effectivenessVSAvoidprognosis improvement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) as intermediary molecules that bridge T-cells and cancer cells. The CARs contain antigen-binding domains that specifically recognize cancer cell surface antigens, while their intracellular domains activate T-cell killing functions, creating a directed and effective anti-tumor response that overcomes the limitations of conventional chemotherapy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional cancer treatments are used, then some cancer cells can be targeted, but new therapeutic approaches are needed for solid tumors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic approach diversityVSAvoidsolid tumor treatment efficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent fundamentally changes the therapeutic parameter from non-specific chemotherapy to highly specific CAR-mediated immunotherapy. By modifying the specificity and mechanism of action through engineered antigen receptors, the treatment achieves superior efficacy against solid tumors while maintaining adaptability to different cancer types through targeting of various antigens

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
