It has taken decades to realize the goal of harnessing a patient's own T cells to seek and destroy tumor cells expressing particular antigens. But as newer-generation ACTs begin to generate impressive clinical data and attract breathless headlines, more researchers are entering the field and launching trials of their own.

ACT involves isolating a patient's tumor-targeting T cells, activating and expanding them, and then injecting them back into the patient. Early trials used T lymphocytes isolated from resected tumors, but this worked well only for melanoma. To treat other types of tumors, researchers engineer T cells from patient peripheral blood to express high-affini...
