Landmark Data From Rutgers Cancer Institute and RWJBarnabas Health Show Long-Term Complete Responses of T Cell Therapies for HPV-Related Cancers
Two studies at Rutgers show durable responses in HPV-related cancers, including complete remission in some patients lasting up to 12 years, signaling potential long-term cures.
- At the SITC Annual Meeting Nov 5–9, 2025, Christian Hinrichs, MD presented findings showing durable T cell responses and complete regressions in HPV-associated cancers, with six of 10 patients responding.
- Facing limited options, researchers at Rutgers pursued engineered cell therapies for metastatic HPV-associated epithelial cancers through collaborative development with the National Cancer Institute and on-site GMP facility at Rutgers Cancer Institute.
- Using a single infusion of up to 50 billion E7 T cells, 10 patients in a Phase II trial showed tumor shrinkage in six and two complete regressions ongoing at 11 and 12 months, respectively.
- Dr. Christian Hinrichs, MD said `These studies indicate that one-time cell therapies can achieve durable responses in epithelial cancers, which historically have been more resistant to these treatments than blood cancers`, and Sue, patient from Washington, DC, described being cancer-free 12 years after treatment.
- With statewide reach, RWJBarnabas Health cares for more than five million people annually and operates 14 hospitals and the Rutgers Cancer Institute, New Jersey's only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.
