Cancer immunotherapy, which leverages immune system components to treat malignancies, has emerged as a cornerstone of contemporary therapeutic strategies. Yet, critical concerns about the efficacy and safety of cancer immunotherapies remain formidable. Nanotechnology, especially polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs), offers unparalleled flexibility in manipulation-from the chemical composition and physical properties to the precision control of nanoassemblies.

Objective: Targeting CD47 for cancer immunotherapy has been studied in many clinical trials for the treatment of patients with advanced tumors. However, this therapeutic approach is often hampered by on-target side effects, physical barriers, and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME).

Methods: To improve therapeutic efficacy while minimizing toxicities, we engineered an oncolytic vaccinia virus (OVV) encoding an anti-CD47 nanobody (OVV-αCD47nb).

Background: The adoptive cell transfer (ACT) of T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cells targeting the HLA-A2-restricted epitope NY-ESO-1 (A2/NY) has yielded important clinical responses against several cancers. A variety of approaches are being taken to augment tumor control by ACT including TCR affinity-optimization and T-cell coengineering strategies to address the suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Most TCRs of clinical interest are evaluated in immunocompromised mice to enable human T-cell engraftment and do not recapitulate the dynamic interplay that occurs with endogenous immunity in a treated patient.

Background: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has emerged as a transformative modality in the treatment of patients with cancer. However, it is increasingly evident that this therapeutic approach is not without its challenges. The unique nature of CAR-T cells as living drugs introduces a distinct set of side effects.

Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face a significant burden of cancer prevalence and incidence. However, the survival rates for patients with cancer in these regions are notably lower than those in high-income countries, primarily due to late diagnosis and limited access to advanced treatments. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has demonstrated promising outcomes in certain terminally ill patients with cancer, yet access to this treatment remains limited in LMICs, including Nepal.
