Despite recent advances in immunotherapy against B cell malignancies such as BCMA (B cell maturation antigen) and CD19-targeted treatments using soluble T cell-engaging (TCE) antibodies or chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T), there is still an important number of patients experiencing refractory/relapsed (R/R) disease. Approaches to avoid tumor-intrinsic mechanisms of resistance such as immune pressure-mediated antigen downmodulation, are being broadly investigated. These strategies include BCMA/CD19 dual-targeting therapies, which may be of particular interest to patients with B cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma, where a specific double-positive immature subpopulation is commonly associated with poor prognosis and poor response to current treatments.

The efficacy and safety of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is still inconclusive in solid tumor treatment. Recently, nanotechnology has emerged as a potent strategy to reshape CAR-T cell therapy with promising outcomes. This review aims to discuss the significant potential of nano-engineered CAR-T cell therapy in addressing existing challenges, including CAR-T cell engineering evolution, tumor microenvironment (TME) modulation, and precise CAR-T cell therapy (precise targeting, monitoring, and activation), under the main consideration of clinical translation.

Introduction: Approximately one-third of all AML patients have a mutation in the Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 () gene, which is associated with a poor prognosis in these individuals. The 2017 approval of midostaurin, the first FLT3 inhibitor, spurred extensive development of more potent and selective inhibitors with an improved safety profile.

Areas Covered: This review analyzes patent inventions for the treatment of AML using FLT3 inhibitors, covering developments from the earliest to the most recent, disclosed in 2024.

This study explores a novel therapeutic strategy for relapsed/refractory (R/R) Burkitt lymphoma (BL) by integrating autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) with tandem anti-CD19/CD22 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. A 20-year-old Asian male with refractory BL, whose lymphoma had not responded to multiple chemoimmunotherapy regimens, received myeloablative ASCT followed three days later by infusion of a novel third-generation CAR T cells engineered with CD28 and CD3ζ signaling domains, along with a TLR2 costimulatory domain. This resulted in sustained complete remission at the 306-day follow-up, without experiencing any severe complications.
