Case report: B7-H3 CAR-T therapy partially controls tumor growth in a basal cell carcinoma patient.

ABSTRACT: B7-H3 is over-expressed in multiple types of solid tumors, making it an ideal target for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy. Here, we first report a case of multiple basal cell carcinoma (BCC) patient treated with humanized monoclonal anti-B7-H3 CAR-T cells through direct intratumoral injection. After three dose-escalated injections, the lesion in the abdomen decreased by 40% in volume, shrank from bulging to flat, but was not eradicated completely. The large lesion in the forehead became dry from original ulcer and bleeding. The adverse events observed were itching, myalgia, and redness. Immunohistochemistry analysis demonstrated that B7-H3-positive tumor cells and B7-H3 expression intensity were reduced after injections of CAR-T cells. The number of infiltrating CD3 T cells increa
