1、Memory-like Natural Killer(NK)Cell Immune Therapy in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma or Urothelial Carcinoma(NCT06318871)Wenxin(Vincent)Xu,Wanling Xie,Fuguo Liu,Grace Birch,Casey Welch,Maily Nguyen,Mila Stanojevic,Srinivas R.Viswanathan,Bradley A.McGregor,Jerome Ritz,David A.Braun,Sarah Nikiforow
2、,Rizwan Romee*,Toni K.Choueiri*Introduction Single-cell analysis of RCC shows that dysfunctional NK cells,with impaired cytotoxicity and expressing tissue residency markers,are enriched in patients with advanced disease In two independent cohorts(TCGA and CheckMate 025),a gene expression signature d
3、erived from this dysfunctional NK cell population is associated with worse survival The Romee lab has shown that cytokine induced memory-like(CIML)NK cells have prolonged survival,proliferation,and cytotoxicity.Can we restore NK cell antitumor activity against RCC?Xu*,Birch*,Meliki*Romee*,Choueiri*,
