    Click on the picture and register now July 3, 2021 /MedClub News/--On July 1, 2021, Precision BioSciences, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced today that the company's drug PBCAR19B phase 1 clinical trial has completed its first patient administration
    .

    PBCAR19B is the company's allogeneic "stealthcell candidate" targeting CD19 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) Patient
    .

    The drug has an immune evasion effect, can "invisible" in front of T cells and NK cells, reduce the rejection of T cells and NK cells, and improve the expansion and persistence of allogeneic CAR-T cells after infusion
    .

    Using its proprietary ARCUS® genome editing platform, PBCAR19B transfers the CAR gene and a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) into T cells through a stealth vector
    .

    The shRNA can inhibit the expression of β2 microglobulin (B2M), which is a component of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC I) on the cell surface
    .

    Reducing or knocking out the expression of MHC I on the surface of allogeneic CAR-T cells can reduce the killing effect of cytotoxic T cells on CAR-T cells
    .

    However, NK cells can be stimulated due to the decreased expression of MHC molecules on the cell surface, so the PBCAR19B vector also carries an HLA-E gene to reduce the rejection of CAR-T cells by NK cells
    .

    Alan List, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Precision BioSciences, said: “We believe that ARCUS’s technology for editing stealth cells has the potential to improve the persistence of allogeneic CAR-T cells on the premise of safety without the need for prolonged immunosuppression.
    This may ultimately Bring a deeper and longer-lasting response to patients
    .

    "The phase 1 clinical trial (NCT04649112) is a non-random, open-label, single-dose, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of PBCAR19B
    .

    The FDA passed the IND application for this trial in January 2021

    .

    Universal CAR-T therapy helps improve patient accessibility, but this therapy also faces many challenges.
    The first is the immune response from allogeneic transplantation
