Phase 1b trial of proteasome inhibitor carfilzomib with irinotecan in lung cancer and other irinotecan-sensitive malignancies that have progressed on prior therapy (Onyx IST reference number: CAR-IST-553).
Adoptive cellular therapies using chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells have achieved remarkable clinical responses in B cell leukemia and lymphoma but the effect on solid tumors including lung cancer is limited.
In conclusion, cisplatin synergistically increased the tumor-killing of CRAd by (1) increasing CRAd transduction via enhanced CAR expression and (2) increasing p53 dependent or independent apoptosis of lung cancer cell lines.
