Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies, with a five-year survival rate among the lowest of all cancers. This poor prognosis is largely due to the aggressive nature of the disease and its resistance to conventional treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, a novel immunotherapeutic approach leverages the patient's own immune system to specifically target and eliminate cancer cells by genetically engineering T cells to express CARs that recognize tumor-specific antigens. While CAR-T therapy has demonstrated remarkable success in treating hematologic malignancies, its application to solid tumors like pancreatic cancer presents significant challenges. Recent advancements in CAR-T cell design, like the addition of co-stimulatory domains and dual-targeting CARs, have enhanced their efficacy against solid tumors. Additionally, strategies to modify the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as combining CAR-T therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors and cytokine modulation, are being investigated to boost CAR-T cell activity against pancreatic cancer. Early-phase clinical trials targeting antigens such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and mesothelin (MSLN) in pancreatic cancer have yielded encouraging results, though obstacles like antigen escape and limited T-cell persistence remain significant challenges. This chapter outlines the current state of CAR-T therapy for pancreatic cancer, focusing on the emerging approaches to address these obstacles and underscore the potential of CAR-T therapy to transform the future of pancreatic cancer treatment.
