    ▎WuXi AppTec Content Team Editor On January 24, 2022, Lyell Immunopharma announced that the U.
    S.
    FDA has approved the IND application for a Phase 1 clinical trial of the investigational T cell receptor (TCR) therapy LYL132 for the treatment of New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients with solid tumors with neoplasm 1 (NY-ESO-1) antigen
    .

    NY-ESO-1 is a cancer testis antigen (CTA) expressed in a variety of solid tumors but rarely in normal tissues
    .

    The therapy is currently being co-developed by Lyell and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)
    .

    According to the press release, the Phase 1 clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of LYL132 in patients with advanced synovial sarcoma (SS) and myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MRCLS) expressing NY-ESO-1, and Lyell is responsible for the manufacture of the therapy.
    , GlaxoSmithKline will be responsible for conducting clinical trials
    .

     NY-ESO-1 is a member of the CTA family of tumor-associated antigens and is a clinically validated therapeutic target that is highly expressed in various solid tumor types, including non-small cell lung cancer, bladder cancer, SS, and MRCLS
    .

    SS is a rare malignant tumor of soft tissue, accounting for approximately 5-10% of all soft tissue sarcomas
    .

    Patients often develop cancer metastasis, especially lung metastasis, resulting in a 10-year survival rate of less than 50%
    .

    One of the most common types of liposarcoma, accounting for about 30 percent of all cases, MRCLS is a rare soft connective tissue tumor that grows in the body's fat-storing cells, usually in the arms and legs
    .

    When cancer metastasis occurs, the 5-year survival rate of patients is about 40%
    .

    LYL132 incorporates Lyell's ex vivo epigenetic reprogramming technology, Epi-R
    .

    This technology is designed to overcome a major obstacle to adoptive T cell therapy by generating T cell populations with durable stem cell properties to achieve clinically meaningful and long-term clinical responses
    .

    Persistent stem cell characteristics are the ability of T cells to persist, self-renew and proliferate while maintaining anticancer effects
    .

    ▲Dr.
    Rick Klausner shared his insights on cell therapy development at the 2020 WuXi AppTec Global Forum Related reading: Farewell to the "Stone Age" of Cell Therapy | Dr.
    Rick Klausner, Chairman of the Lyell Board of Directors of WuXi AppTec Global Forum, said: The clinical evaluation of the potential benefits of reprogrammed T cells with durable stem cell properties is an important and exciting milestone for Lyell and cancer drug development
    .

    We believe that T cells lacking durable stem cell properties are an ACT therapy A major barrier to solid tumors, and expect our Epi-R technology platform to provide patients with a path to better clinical outcomes
