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) as the first tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy for advanced melanoma, demonstrate the growing therapeutic potential of cell-based cancer treatments.
The Smart™ CAR platform represents a significant advancement in CAR-T therapy development, offering construction services for 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, the platform supports first- through fourth-generation CARs along with armored variants that secrete immune modulators like IL-12, with each construct tailored to specific tumor biology and immune microenvironment requirements for optimal efficacy and minimal toxicity.
The CAR-T platform targeting solid tumors addresses one of the most challenging obstacles in the field by overcoming the immunosuppressive defenses characteristic of solid tumors. The company employs bispecific CARs, checkpoint-resistant designs, and optimized delivery systems to improve tumor infiltration and persistence of therapeutic cells.

Complementing the CAR-T platform, the tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy development platform provides comprehensive and integrated services for TIL therapy, which represents a breakthrough innovation in treating solid tumors. A company representative noted that TIL therapy is exceptionally well-positioned to identify heterogeneous neoantigens, making it particularly valuable for complex cancer types. Creative Biolabs also leads in TIL-based antibody discovery, utilizing patient-derived B cells to develop fully human antibodies with high specificity and therapeutic potential.
The integration of these platforms incorporates cutting-edge technologies that facilitate accelerated and stable translation from laboratory research to clinical applications. The company utilizes the latest genetic and cellular engineering techniques to ensure that both CAR-T and TIL therapies are highly potent and specifically targeted against cancer cells. This comprehensive approach addresses the critical need for more effective and accessible cellular immunotherapy options, particularly as innovations in off-the-shelf CAR-NKT and armored CAR-T technologies continue to push the boundaries of what can be achieved with engineered immune cells.
