New NY-ESO-1 TCR-T data https://jitc.bmj.com/content/7/1/276

From it: ''These data provide an initial rationale as to how tumors with histologies resistant to checkpoint blockade can be successfully targeted with adoptive T-cell therapy. Furthermore, these data are the first to demonstrate successful infiltration of solid tumors by SPEAR T cells, which are able to kill tumor cells. Our data also suggest that antigen loss or alterations in the expression of antigen processing proteins are not primary mechanisms of resistance. Moreover, the therapeutic efficacy may be enhanced through use of a high dose fludarabine-containing preparative lymphodepletion regimen, by promoting greater engraftment at the tumor site, and through modulation of TAM.''
