Lung Cancer Molecular Targets

Precision targeting of genetic drivers in non-small cell and small cell lung cancer

EGFR Mutations
15-50%
Most common driver in NSCLC, especially in non-smokers and Asian populations. Target for CRISPR correction and targeted therapies.
ALK Rearrangements
3-7% NSCLC
Fusion oncogene driving aggressive lung cancer. Ideal for CRISPR disruption and fusion-specific CAR-T therapies.
KRAS Mutations
25-30%
Historically "undruggable" target now accessible through CRISPR base editing and RNA interference approaches.
PD-L1 Expression
20-25%
Immune checkpoint target for combination therapies with gene-edited immune cells and viral vectors.

Advanced Gene Therapy Approaches for Lung Cancer

Cutting-edge platforms specifically developed for lung cancer subtypes

CRISPR Gene Editing

Precise correction of EGFR, KRAS, and ALK mutations in lung cancer cells.

  • 85% editing efficiency in validated targets
  • EGFR exon 19 deletion correction
  • KRAS G12C mutation targeting
  • ALK fusion disruption

CAR-T Cell Therapy

Engineered T-cells targeting lung cancer-specific antigens.

  • Mesothelin-targeted CAR-T for pleural involvement
  • EGFRvIII-specific CAR-T approaches
  • Combination with checkpoint inhibitors
  • Armored CAR-T with cytokine support

Oncolytic Viral Therapy

Engineered viruses selectively targeting lung cancer cells.

  • Intravenous and inhaled delivery options
  • Telomerase-specific viral replication
  • GM-CSF expression for immune activation
  • Combination with radiation therapy
