The symposium, titled "Breaking Barriers in In Vivo CAR-T Therapy: CD3scFv-Engineered AAV Capsids Drive Superior CAR-T Cell Generation and Complete Tumor Eradication," will showcase compelling new preclinical data from AAVivo’s proprietary AAVTCeT platform.
During the session, the company will present evidence demonstrating how its CD3scFv-engineered AAV capsids enable highly efficient in vivo CAR-T cell generation, resulting in complete tumor eradication in preclinical models. This innovative approach addresses major limitations of traditional ex vivo CAR-T therapies, including complex and costly manufacturing processes, limited patient accessibility, and scalability challenges.
"Presenting at ASGCT (Free ASGCT Whitepaper) 2026 provides an important platform to share our progress toward transforming CAR-T therapy," said Haifeng Chen, PhD, CEO of AAVivo. "Our AAVTCeT platform has the potential to deliver an off-the-shelf, in vivo solution that could significantly improve patient outcomes and broaden access to life-changing cell therapies. We look forward to engaging with the gene and cell therapy community and potential partners in Boston."
