Therapeutic options for non-small cell lung cancer patients with brain metastases are limited. Here the authors design B7-H3 targeting CAR-T cells engineered to express the chemokine receptor CCR2b, and show improved accumulation in the brain and enhanced anti-tumor activity in preclinical models of lung cancer brain metastases.
