TECHNOLOGY BOOM

With the recent advances of cutting-edge biotechnologies, immunotherapy is now in a good position to declare war against all cancers.

BREAKTHROUGH

Starting in 2010, CD19 CAR-T cells endowed to recognize a marker on a malignant blood disease called leukemia induced complete remission and become now available for a subset of leukemic patients worldwide.

PRIMARY SUCCESS

The beginning of this century has seen an exceptional improvement in therapies for a limited number of cancers, such as melanoma, using checkpoint inhibitors. Patients received several doses of antibodies to temporarily boost the immune system. However, this strategy needs to be improved or complemented by T-cell-based therapies.

MEDICAL APPLICATIONS

In the late 20th century, bone marrow transplantation, which reconstituted patients’ immune system after chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes were used to treat cancers. Genetically engineered T-cells were created expressing a T-cell receptor (TCR) recognizing a cancer cell-presented antigen or a chimeric T-cell receptor (CAR-T) harboring an antibody against cancer antigens.

FUNDAMENTAL DISCOVERIES

In the last century, a global theory of the function of the immune system was progressively assembled, owing to the identification of the cells responsible for cellular and humoral immunity, the elucidation of mechanisms driving immune response to control infections and cancers, and the identification of checkpoint controls to protect normal cells from overactive immune responses.

STARTING POINT

In 1891, William B. Coley, an American surgeon and now known as the father of cancer immunotherapy, applied for the first time an immunotherapy approach to cure a cancer patient based on injections of Streptococcus pyogenes to boost the immune system.
