Fred Hutch researchers led by Dr. Matthias Stephan used nanoparticles to deliver two drugs directly into solid tumors to shut down the tumors’ defense mechanisms and rally the immune system. Although this was a preclinical study, not done in human patients, it opens the possibility that chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies could be used not just in blood cancers but also in solid tumors. The drugs would precondition the patient and the tumor so the T cells would work better, Stephan said.
