This month, Tmunity Therapeutics is dosing the first patients who have enrolled in an early clinical trial testing an engineered CAR-T immune cell therapy for metastatic prostate cancer. The trial’s start is notable, and not just because it’s been challenging to recruit patients for cancer trials during the COVID-19 pandemic. The experimental CAR-T is among the first cell therapies to target a solid tumor—an enemy that was once considered too difficult to tackle with that type of treatment.
