The Body Becomes the Cure: Myeloid's mRNA CARs Redefine Cancer Fight!

  • A New Dawn in Cancer Warfare: Myeloid Therapeutics stuns ASCO 2025 with first-ever human data from in vivo mRNA CAR therapies, directly reprogramming immune cells inside the body.
  • Shattering Old Limits: These revolutionary treatments, MT-302 and MT-303, bypass complex lab work, offering a potent, "off-the-shelf" attack against advanced solid tumors.
  • Tumor Strongholds Breached: Early findings reveal these mRNA-supercharged myeloid cells can penetrate and reshape hostile tumor environments, heralding a paradigm shift in immuno-oncology.

The battle against cancer has just witnessed a seismic shift. At the prestigious 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting, Myeloid Therapeutics tore back the curtain on a future once confined to science fiction: the first-in-human data from in vivo mRNA CAR therapies. This isn't just an update; it's a declaration that the very rules of engagement against cancer are being rewritten1, 6.

Imagine therapies that transform your own immune cells into precision cancer assassins directly within your body, eliminating the complex, time-consuming ex vivo cell manipulation of old. Myeloid's pioneering treatments, MT-302 targeting TROP2-expressing tumors and MT-303 aimed at aggressive GPC3+ cancers like hepatocellular carcinoma, are making this a reality2, 5, 4, 7. "We are pushing beyond the limits of traditional CAR therapies," declared Myeloid's CEO, heralding a move towards potent, tumor-specific immune activation without the burdens of conventional cell therapies.

These revolutionary therapies, delivered intravenously using advanced lipid nanoparticles, are showing that CAR-programmed myeloid cells can successfully penetrate stubborn solid tumors and reshape their hostile microenvironments1. As Myeloid's Chief Medical Officer stated, these results "could ultimately change how solid tumors are treated," offering patients a more accessible, potentially more tolerable, and highly targeted lifeline. The era of directly engineering the immune response inside the patient has dawned.
