Beyond CAR-T: Synthetic Immune Receptor T (SIR-T™) cells for solid tumors

This webinar explores how synthetic immune receptor T cells (SIR-T™) are being engineered to better replicate natural T cell signaling and improve activity in challenging solid tumor environments, including metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Drawing on 12 years of preclinical research, the session will present the receptor design strategy used to evaluate thousands of prototypes and identify a lead candidate. Attendees will gain insight into the IND-enabling roadmap, early comparative efficacy data versus CAR-T models, and the strategy for expanding the platform to additional cancers such as melanoma and kidney cancer.

Join this webinar to:

  • Examine structural differences between SIR-T™ and CAR-T architectures, specifically how SIR-T™ better mimics natural T-cell signaling
  • Review preclinical data comparing tumor reduction and survival outcomes in SIR-T™ versus traditional CAR-T models
  • Understand the multi-prototype screening framework used by USC to evaluate thousands of receptor designs over an 12-year development program
  • Gain practical insight into the preclinical and regulatory steps required to advance an academic “homegrown” cell therapy toward IND submission and first-in-human trials

Register now to gain practical insight into receptor engineering strategies, preclinical development frameworks, and translational considerations shaping new cell therapy approaches for solid tumors.
