Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to using monoterpene or sesquiterpene to permeabilize the blood brain barrier. The present invention relates to a method of treating a central nervous system (CNS) cancer wherein perillyl alcohol (POH) is administered to a mammal before or concurrently with a therapeutic agent that is a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T cell). The POH and CAR-T cells can be administered by intraarterial injection. The CNS cancer can be a malignant glioma, pilocytic astrocytomas (grade I), meningiomas, metastatic brain tumors, or pituitary adenomas.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A method of treating a central nervous system (CNS) cancer, the method comprising administering to a mammal perillyl alcohol (POH) before or concurrently with a therapeutic agent that is a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T cell), wherein the POH and CAR-T cells are administered by intraarterial injection, and wherein the CNS cancer is a malignant glioma, pilocytic astrocytomas (grade I), meningiomas, metastatic brain tumors, or pituitary adenomas. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the perillyl alcohol is administered at a dose ranging from about 0.050 mg/kg to about 500 mg/kg of a body weight of the mammal. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the mammal is a human. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the POH is administered from about 0.2 minutes to about 60 minutes before the CAR-T cell is administered. 5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the POH is administered from about 1 minute to about 15 minutes before the CAR-T cell is administered. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the POH and the CAR-T cell are administered separately. 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the POH and the CAR-T cell are administered concurrently. 8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the POH and the CAR-T cell are administered together in a pharmaceutical composition. 9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the CNS cancer is a malignant glioma. 10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the malignant glioma is a glioblastoma, astrocytoma, or anaplastic astrocytoma. 11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the malignant glioma is a glioblastoma. 12 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising treating the mammal with radiation. 13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the CAR-T cell is a CD19 CAR-T cell or a Lym-1 CAR-T cell.
