Building on that, we have shown that our CAR-iNKT cells deliver dual targeting through the invariant TCR and CAR, while actively reshaping the tumor microenvironment. With MiNK-215, our IL-15–armored, FAP-targeting CAR-iNKT therapy, we’re now tackling the stromal barriers that have long prevented immune infiltration in resistant tumors.”","length":637,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Clinical Data: Durable Responses in Solid Tumors","length":48,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"MiNK’s lead program, agenT-797, is an unmodified, allogeneic iNKT therapy derived from healthy donors.
