Choice of CLDN18.2 BiTE vs CAR-T?
BiTE: off the shelf, continuous therapy
CAR-T: autologous (takes time), one infusion

3) BiTE+OV
Oncolytic virus -> tumor lysis -> T cell response
SQ model of KPC w/ human CLDN18.2 in CD3ε humanized mice:
OV-BiTE improved tumor control and survival compared to OV-GFP or PBS ctrl

2) BiTE+ICI
BiTEs -> inhibitory checkpoints upregulated
KPC orthotopic model:
CLDN18.2 x CD3 BiTE + αPD1 -> decreased tumor growth compared to BiTE or αPD1 alone

How about CLDN18.2 BiTE+X combos?
1) BiTE+chemo
Chemo increases immunogenicity, depletes immunosuppressive Tregs (CD3-targeting BiTEs recruit polyclonal T cells, including Tregs)
