Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods of treating a patient with a cancer by administering to the patient a composition comprising CAR T cells wherein the CAR T cells comprise a CAR and the CAR comprises an E2 anti-fluorescein antibody fragment, and administering to the patient a small molecule linked to a targeting moiety by a linker. The disclosure also relates to compositions for use in such methods.
Claims20
A method of treatment of a cancer in a human patient, wherein the human patient's bloodstream comprises a CAR T cell composition and one or more cancer cells, wherein the CAR T cell composition comprises CAR T cells that specifically bind to a targeting moiety and the one or more cancer cells specifically bind to a small molecule ligand;
- the method comprising administering to a human patient a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the compound comprises the small molecule ligand linked to the targeting moiety by a linker, wherein:
- the small molecule ligand is folate, and the targeting moiety is a fluorescein, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), or NHS-fluorescein;
- the compound, or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered continuously to the human patient for at least one hour, at least 4 hours, at least six hours, or is administered three times weekly;
- and
- the compound specifically binds to both the CAR T cells and to the one or more cancer cells, thereby treating the human patient for the cancer.
