SL Science Holding Ltd. has submitted an orphan drug designation request to the FDA for its γδ T-cell therapy product, Vδ2+ γδ T cells, for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme.
A new strategy based on regulatory T cells (Tregs) engineered with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) has shown that cell therapies can be directed against soluble allergens to control inflammation. The findings open a potential path toward the development of antigen-specific cell therapies for allergies caused by pollen, food allergens or dust mites.
