Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most progressive primary brain tumor. Targeting a novel and highly specific tumor antigen is one of the strategies to overcome tumors. EGFR variant III (EGFRvIII) is present in 25%-33% of all patients with GBM and is exclusively expressed on tumor tissue cells. Currently, there are various approaches to target EGFRvIII, including CAR T-cell therapy, therapeutic vaccines, antibodies, and Bi-specific T Cell Engager. In this review, we focus on the preclinical and clinical findings of targeting EGFRvIII for GBM.
多形性胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)是最具侵袭性的原发性脑肿瘤。靶向一种新型且高度特异性的肿瘤抗原是克服肿瘤的策略之一。表皮生长因子受体III型变异体(EGFRvIII)存在于25%-33%的GBM患者中,且仅在肿瘤组织细胞上表达。目前,有多种靶向EGFRvIII的方法,包括嵌合抗原受体(CAR)T细胞疗法、治疗性疫苗、抗体和双特异性T细胞衔接器。在本综述中,我们聚焦于针对GBM靶向EGFRvIII的临床前和临床研究结果。
