Incorporating mRNA therapeutics into biological treatments of hematologic malignancies

Le résumé fourni par la source

The recent advancement of mRNA technology has opened new therapeutic avenues for treating hematologic malignancies, offering innovative approaches to enhance existing immunotherapies. This review examines the expanding role of in vitro transcribed (IVT)-mRNA-based platforms in hemato-oncology, focusing on key areas: monoclonal antibody production, bispecific antibody development, and CAR-T cell engineering. Unlike conventional biologics, mRNA allows for in vivo expression of therapeutic proteins, reducing manufacturing complexity and expanding access through scalable, cell-free synthesis. IVT-mRNA-encoded monoclonal and bispecific antibodies can overcome limitations such as short half-life and the need for continuous infusion, while enabling innovations like Fc silencing, protease-activated masking, and combinatorial immunotherapies. In CAR-T cell therapy, IVT-mRNA provides transient, safer alternatives to viral vector-based approaches and facilitates emerging strategies such as in vivo CAR programming and IVT-mRNA vaccine-like boosters. Despite these advantages, challenges remain, including delivery precision, durability of therapeutic effects, and limited clinical trial success. Beyond therapeutic mechanisms, the integration of bioinformatics and AI in IVT-mRNA design is accelerating the development of personalized and efficient cancer treatments. Overall, mRNA technology is redefining immunotherapy in hematology and holds the potential to broaden access to advanced treatments globally.
