Patent ID: 11266739

Abstract:
Provided are methods for multiple administrations of cells for adoptive cell therapy, and for administering cells to subjects having received prior administrations, and compositions and articles of manufacture for use in the methods. The cells generally express recombinant molecules such as recombinant receptors, e.g., chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) and/or other transgenic receptors. The methods can involve administering cells expressing a first or prior receptor(s) and cells expressing a second or subsequent receptor(s), the second or subsequent receptor(s) being distinct from the first, and which generally do not express the first receptor, and/or administering the cells expressing the second receptor to a subject having received the first administration. The methods can provide various advantages, such as improved efficacy in the context an immune response in the subject against the first or prior receptor and/or in the context of antigen loss, downregulation, or modification, following a first or prior administration.
