          CHICAGO — A next-generation CAR-T therapy was able to substantially shrink tumors in patients with liver cancer in early clinical data presented Monday at the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting. The study, though preliminary and small with only 24 patients, represents a triad of firsts for one of the trial’s sponsors.
