New CAR-T Approach May Extend Osteosarcoma Survival
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals have engineered a novel CAR‑T cell therapy, OSM CAR‑T, that targets oncostatin M receptors on osteosarcoma cells. Preclinical experiments demonstrated potent in‑vitro killing and significant tumor burden reduction in multiple mouse models, including metastatic disease. The therapy uses a ligand‑based design to overcome tumor heterogeneity, a common obstacle for solid‑tumor CAR‑T approaches. The team plans to initiate clinical trials within the next two years, positioning the candidate as a potential first targeted treatment for a disease that has relied on chemotherapy and surgery for four decades.
