CD40 Agonists Alter Tumor Stroma and Show Efficacy Against Pancreatic Carcinoma in Mice and Humans

TL;DR: These findings demonstrate a CD40-dependent mechanism for targeting tumor stroma in the treatment of cancer and demonstrate that cancer immune surveillance does not necessarily depend on therapy-induced T cells; rather, it is shown that tumor regression required macrophages but not T cells or gemcitabine.

Mesothelin-Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor mRNA-Engineered T Cells Induce Antitumor Activity in Solid Malignancies

TL;DR: Findings support the development of mRNA CAR-based strategies for carcinoma and other solid tumors by showing the potential of using mRNA-engineered T cells to evaluate, in a controlled manner, potential off-tumor on-target toxicities and showing that short-lived CAR T cells can induce epitope spreading and mediate antitumor activity in patients with advanced cancer.
