Seems like a very interesting approach, even if it’s early stage.

Meh the research didn’t say those were state of the art, but that they were “common” treatments. In other words a baseline for a presumably cheap and well studied animal surrogate.

Last I read up on it last year CAR-T treatments struggled with solid mass tumors.

Many cancers don’t have unique proteins for CAR-T to target (similar to the pd-l1 issue).

Then CAR-T struggles getting the modified T cells into the solid mass tumors en masse. Interestingly this approach actually makes use of the tumor environment rather than be hindered by it.
