Although adoptive cell therapy with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cells has shown durable clinical efficacy in patients with CD19 + B cell malignancies, the application of this approach to solid tumors is challenging. The goal of this proof-of-concept study was to investigate whether loading of CD19-CAR T cells (CART19) with anti-HER2 or anti-EGFR bispecific antibodies (BiAb) will target HER2 + /EGFR + CD19 - targets and signal the intracellular domain of CAR without engaging antigen-specific CD19 ScFv of CAR T cells.
