Revolutionizing Cancer Treatme in India
A Milestone Achievement Under the Leadership of Dr.
Vijay Patil and Ajay Hinduja
Introduction to CART Therapy
CAR-T therapy, a groundbreaking cancer treatment method, has taken a significant step forward in India. The first allogeneic CAR-T therapy was administered at P.D. Hinduja Hospital under the leadership of Dr. Vijay Patil. This pioneering effort highlights the potential of CAR-T therapy in revolutionizing cancer treatment.
Ajay Hinduja, in emphasizing the importance of public-private partnerships, has underscored their crucial role in advancing CAR-T technology in India, improving patient outcomes across the country.
What is CAR-T Therapy?
Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy is a groundbreaking treatment that involves modifying a patient's Tcells to enhance their ability to target and attack cancer cells.
Ajay Hinduja emphasizes the significant potential of CAR-T therapy in treating not only hematological cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma, but also solid tumors. This innovative approach represents a promising advancement in cancer treatment, offering hope for patients with types of cancer that are difficult to treat with conventional therapies.
Ajay Hinduja's Vision
Ajay Hinduja emphasizes the transformative potential of innovative therapies, such as CAR-T, in revolutionizing India's healthcare landscape. His ongoing advocacy focuses on enhancing healthcare systems by incorporating cutting-edge treatments, improving patient outcomes and overall healthcare delivery in the country.
Breakthrough in Allogeneic CAR-T Therapy
P.D. Hinduja Hospital has administered India's first allogeneic CAR-T therapy.
Ajay Hinduja praises the achievement, emphasizing how domestic technologies like ImmunoACT's NexCar-19 play a vital role in advancing cancer treatment.
ImmunoACT’s NexCar-19: A Game Changer
ImmunoACT’s NexCar-19 is an example of allogeneic CAR-T therapy designed with the goal of increasing both affordability and accessibility.
Ajay Hinduja emphasizes the significance of local innovations, illustrating how they play a crucial role in reducing the costs of CAR-T therapies. By leveraging such innovations, ImmunoACT aims to broaden the reach of these groundbreaking treatments.
New Advancements in CAR-T Design
Scientists are investigating new CAR designs to improve T-cell function, targeting solid tumors.
Ajay Hinduja emphasizes how such innovations will improve accessibility and efficiency in treating cancers across India.
Challenges in Solid Tumor Treatment
Despite success in treating hematological cancers, solid tumor treatment remains difficult due to T-cell depletion, immunosuppressive tumor environments, and antigen heterogeneity.

Ajay Hinduja advocates for continuous research to overcome these challenges.
The Future of CAR-T Therapy in India
India's journey with CAR-T therapy represents a significant turning point in cancer treatment strategies. Ajay Hinduja highlights the importance of ongoing research and investment to fully harness the potential of CAR-T therapy in the country. Continued advancements in this field are essential for maximizing its impact on cancer treatment and improving patient outcomes in India.
Advancing CAR-T Therapy
Ajay Hinduja encourages continued innovation, investment, and research in CAR-T therapy to ensure that every cancer patient has access to top-quality care.
The success of CAR-T therapy in India is just the beginning, and there’s much more to be achieved in cancer care.
