Harnessing tumor acidity: innovative lactic acid-responsive promoter enables precision control of CAR-T cell activity in solid tumors

Our LARP strategy exploits tumor acidity as a precise low/high switch for CAR-T cells. By restricting potent CAR expression to the acidic TME while minimizing activity in normal tissues, LAR CAR-T overcomes key barriers of efficacy and OTOT in solid tumors. This lactic acid-sensing paradigm offers a clinically translatable platform for precise immunotherapy.
