Immunotherapies have had limited success in solid tumors due to the lack of tumor-specific targets and a profoundly immunosuppressive microenvironment. Dispatch’s Flare platform addresses these barriers by systemically delivering a tumor-specific virus that paints a universal synthetic antigen (Flare) on tumor cells, enabling precise recognition by T cells, while reshaping the tumor microenvironment to support immune activity. Data presented at SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) (Abstract 394) demonstrate strong and consistent tumor labeling, iterative viral amplification and tumor cell clearance across multiple epithelial tumor models.

"These data show that delivering engineered targets specifically to tumor cells allows us to control antigen specificity, while also reprogramming the tumor microenvironment," said Lex Johnson, Ph.D., Co-Founder and Chief Platform Officer. "We are excited to start with CAR T as our first program, and because the Flare approach is modular and not restricted to CAR T cells, it can be extended across multiple immunotherapy modalities."

The company also presented preclinical findings from DISP-10, its first therapeutic candidate (Abstract 393). DISP-10 pairs DV-10, a tumor-targeted virus expressing a modified BCMA antigen (dBCMA) and the immune-stimulatory cytokine IL-18 and chemokine CXCL9, with a clinically validated BCMA-directed CAR T. The viral component installs the target and drives local immune activation, enabling robust CAR T function in solid tumors. DISP-10 demonstrated potent anti-tumor responses in numerous in vitro and in vivo models, with no activity observed in healthy cells. Dispatch plans to initiate a first-in-human Phase 1 study in 2026 to evaluate DISP-10 across multiple solid tumor types.

"DISP-10 creates the right biological context for CAR T cells to function in solid tumors," said Barbra Sasu, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer. "The consistency of activity seen with various BCMA-targeted therapies across tumor models gives us confidence in its clinical potential."

Flatiron’s presence at ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) 2025 closely follows their announcement of six new hematology Panoramic datasets, including five B-cell lymphomas and multiple myeloma, which draw from over 505,000 relevant longitudinal patient records in Flatiron’s network. The datasets represent a six-fold increase in cohort sizes when compared to the company’s previously available datasets and lay the evidence foundation that will guide better treatment decisions, accelerate new development, and ultimately improve outcomes for patients with blood cancers.

"The rapid advancements in the treatment of hematologic malignancies have required an incredibly thoughtful approach to research, one that captures the clinical nuance of disease subtypes, rare patient cohorts, novel endpoints, and evolving biomarkers at scale," said Emily Castellanos, MD, MPH, Senior Medical Director and Head of Research Oncology at Flatiron Health. "Our presence at ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) unlocks answers to questions that are shaping hematology care right now and our six newly launched hematology Panoramic datasets represent a clinical breakthrough, enabling researchers to study the real-world complexity of blood cancer care—from MRD testing patterns to CAR T therapy utilization—with a level of depth and rigor that was previously impossible."

Research highlights include:

Research examining real-world CAR T cell therapy delivery patterns across US oncology practices, including analysis of cytokine release syndrome, immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, and healthcare burden—addressing critical gaps in understanding how this transformative therapy is implemented across care settings.
Multiple studies evaluating measurable residual disease testing patterns and their association with clinical outcomes in Philadelphia-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and multiple myeloma, providing insights into the real-world impact of this precision monitoring approach.
EHR-derived datasets from Germany and the United Kingdom providing comprehensive analysis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma management, demonstrating Flatiron’s ability to generate high-quality, multinational real-world evidence.
