Abstract/Summary

-
In 2018, two novel cancer therapies based on chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) were granted marketing authorization in the European Union. Authorized for use against advanced lymphoma and/or leukemia, the products were at the center of international attention, not only due to their novel mode of action and their encouraging efficacy but also because of their sometimes severe side effects and the economic and logistic challenges posed by their manufacture. Now, almost two years later, hundreds of active clinical trials emphasize the global drive to harness the full potential of CAR technology.In this article, we describe the mode of action of CAR T and CAR NK cells and review the clinical testing situation as well as early real-world data. In recent years, preclinical studies using advanced animal models have provided first insights into the mechanisms underlying the severe side effects of CAR T therapy. We summarize their results and describe the available models. Additionally, we discuss potential solutions to the hurdles currently limiting CAR technology. So far used as last-line treatment for patients with aggressive disease, CAR technology has the potential to become a new, broadly effective standard for tumor therapy.
