Creative Biolabs announced the full integration of its one-stop-shop CAR-T and TIL therapy development platforms, offering researchers and biotech startups a seamless, end-to-end service for developing next-generation cellular immunotherapies. This development comes as recent regulatory approvals, including the FDA approval of lifileucel (Amtagvi), the first tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy for advanced melanoma, demonstrate the growing therapeutic potential of cell-based cancer treatments.
The integration of these platforms represents a significant advancement in cancer immunotherapy research, providing scientists with comprehensive tools to accelerate the development of smarter, safer cellular therapies. The Smart™ CAR platform specifically focuses on constructing next-generation CAR designs, including novel constructs such as Dual CARs, TriCARs, Modular CAR, and Logic-gated CAR systems. According to a principal scientist at Creative Biolabs, "Our goal is not just to build potent CARs—we're building smart CARs," emphasizing the platform's focus on tailoring constructs to specific tumor biology and immune microenvironments for optimal efficacy and minimal toxicity.
The CAR-T platform targeting solid tumors addresses one of the most challenging obstacles in the field: penetrating the immunosuppressive defenses of solid tumors. Creative Biolabs employs bispecific CARs, checkpoint-resistant designs, and optimized delivery systems to improve tumor infiltration and persistence. The platform supports first- through fourth-generation CARs, along with armored variants that secrete immune modulators like IL-12, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with engineered immune cells.
Simultaneously, the tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy platform provides comprehensive and integrated services for precision cell profiling and expansion. A company representative noted that "TIL therapy is exceptionally well-positioned to identify heterogeneous neoantigens," highlighting its potential in treating solid tumors. Creative Biolabs also leads in TIL-based antibody discovery, utilizing patient-derived B cells to develop fully human antibodies with high specificity and therapeutic value.

The company integrates cutting-edge technologies to facilitate accelerated and stable translation from bench to bedside, utilizing the latest in genetic and cellular engineering to ensure TILs are highly potent and specifically targeted against cancer cells. This integrated approach combines scientific rigor, technological innovation, and clinical scalability, positioning Creative Biolabs at the forefront of cellular immunotherapy development. The platforms offer second-to-none flexibility, customization, and scientific expertise, supporting the growing field of cancer immunotherapy that continues to show promising clinical results and regulatory approvals.
