Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is implicated as a necessary factor in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS) and may also be a driver of disease activity. Although it is not clear whether ongoing viral replication is the driver for MS pathology, MS researchers have considered the prospect of using drugs with potential efficacy against EBV in the treatment of MS. We have undertaken scientific and lived experience expert panel reviews to shortlist existing licensed therapies that could be used in later-stage clinical trials in MS.

Since the first approval of an immune-checkpoint inhibitor, we have witnessed the clinical success of cancer immunotherapy. Adoptive T-cell therapy with chimeric antigen-receptor T (CAR-T) cells has shown remarkable efficacy in hematological malignancies. Concurrently with these successes, the cancer immunoediting concept that refined the cancer immunosurveillance concept underpinned the scientific mechanism and reason for past failures, as well as recent breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapy.

Despite the advances of CAR-T cells in certain hematological malignancies, mostly from B-cell derivations such as non-Hodgkin lymphomas, acute lymphoblastic leukemia and multiple myeloma, a significant portion of other hematological and non-hematological pathologies can benefit from this innovative treatment, as the results of clinical studies are demonstrating. The clinical application of CAR-T in the setting of acute T-lymphoid leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, solid tumors, autoimmune diseases and infections has encountered limitations that are different from those of hematological B-cell diseases. To overcome these restrictions, strategies based on different molecular engineering platforms have been devised and will be illustrated below.

Adoptive cell therapies (ACT) have shown reduced efficacy against solid tumor malignancies compared to hematologic malignancies, partly due to the immunosuppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME). ACT efficacy may be enhanced with pleiotropic cytokines that remodel the TME; however, their expression needs to be tightly controlled to avoid systemic toxicities. Here we show T cells can be armored with membrane-bound cytokines with surface expression regulated using drug-responsive domains (DRDs) developed from the 260-amino acid protein human carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA2).
