Materials and methods for producing genome-edited cells engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) construct on the cell surface, and materials and methods for genome editing to modulate the expression, function, or activity of one or more immuno-oncology related genes in a cell, and materials and methods for treating a patient using the genome-edited engineered cells.

Methods of developing genetically engineered immune cells for immunotherapy, which can be endowed with Chimeric Antigen Receptors targeting an antigen marker that is common to both the pathological cells and said immune cells (ex: CD38, CSI or CD70) by the fact that the genes encoding said markers are inactivated in said immune cells by a rare cutting endonuclease such as TALEN, Cas9 or argonaute.

The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to compositions comprising a population of genetically engineered T cells that expresses a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that binds CD70, and methods of using such for the treatment of CD70+ solid tumors.

The present application relates generally to genetically modified arenaviruses that are suitable vaccines against neoplastic diseases, such as cancer. The arenaviruses described herein may be suitable for vaccines and/or treatment of neoplastic diseases and/or for the use in immunotherapies. In particular, provided herein are methods and compositions for treating a neoplastic disease by administering a genetically modified arenavirus in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, wherein the arenavirus has been engineered to include a nucleotide sequence encoding a tumor antigen, tumor associated antigen or antigenic fragment thereof.

A population of genetically engineered T cells, comprising a disrupted protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2) gene and optionally a disrupted TRAC gene, a disrupted β2M gene, and/or a disrupted CD70 gene. Also provided herein are methods for making such genetically engineered T cells and therapeutic uses thereof.

Compositions that include an albumin binding domain and a fusion partner (e.g., a cytokine or a binding moiety) are provided. Such therapeutics have increased serum half-life and find use in applications where one or more such therapeutics are needed, for example, in oncology applications.
