Overview

C7R-Epstein-Barr virus-specific T cells (C7R-EBVSTs) are an adoptive cellular immunotherapy designed to treat Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated malignancies. These autologous or allogeneic T cells are selected for their natural specificity against EBV antigens, typically including Latent Membrane Protein 1 (LMP1), LMP2, and EBV Nuclear Antigen 1 (EBNA1). To enhance therapeutic efficacy and overcome the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, the cells are genetically modified to express a constitutively active interleukin-7 receptor (C7R). This modification provides a continuous survival and growth signal mimicking the action of the cytokine IL-7, which promotes T-cell expansion, metabolic fitness, and long-term persistence without the need for exogenous cytokine support. Developed primarily at the Baylor College of Medicine, this therapy is currently being evaluated in clinical trials for patients with relapsed or refractory EBV-positive lymphomas, such as Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
