The last decade has seen a crescendo of FDA approvals for immunotherapies against solid tumors, yet glioblastoma remains a prominent holdout. Despite more than 4 decades of work with a wide range of immunotherapeutic modalities targeting glioblastoma, efficacy has been challenging to obtain. Earlier forms of immune-based platforms have now given way to more current approaches, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cells, personalized neoantigen vaccines, oncolytic viruses, and checkpoint blockade. The recent experiences with each, as well as the latest developments and anticipated challenges, are reviewed.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has been successful in treating hematological malignancy, but solid tumors remain refractory. Here, we demonstrated that knocking out transcription factor IKZF3 in HER2-specific CAR T cells targeting breast cancer cells did not affect proliferation or differentiation of the CAR T cells in the absence of tumors, but markedly enhanced killing of the cancer cells in vitro and in a xenograft model. Furthermore, IKZF3 KO had similar effects on the CD133-specific CAR T cells targeting glioblastoma cells. AlphaLISA and RNA-seq analyses indicate that IKZF3 KO increased the expression of genes involved in cytokine signaling, chemotaxis and cytotoxicity. Our results suggest a general strategy for enhancing CAR T efficacy on solid tumors.

In the recent years, immunotherapy has achieved impressive results utilizing different approaches, from (chimeric antigen receptor) CAR-T cells directed against CD19 for the treatment of leukemia and lymphomas to the Nobel prize-winning strategy of check-point inhibition for the treatment of several solid tumors [...]
