World-First EXO 001 Exosome Platform Enables In Vivo Multi-Target CAR-T for Solid Tumors

TAICHUNG, Feb. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cancer has long ranked among the leading causes of death in Taiwan, and solid tumors account for more than 90% of cancer cases worldwide—making them the most challenging frontier for CAR-T cell therapy. China Medical University Hospital (CMUH) announced today that, in collaboration with Ever Supreme Bio Technology, it has successfully developed the world's first EXO 001 targeted exosome platform, a breakthrough technology that enables direct in vivo programming of T cells to generate multi-target nanobody-based CAR-T cells.

In multiple solid tumor animal models, EXO 001 demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy, including complete tumor eradication in select cases, offering a fundamentally new treatment strategy for patients with advanced solid malignancies.

In Vivo Immune Programming Overcomes the Limitations of Conventional CAR-T Therapy

According to CMUH Superintendent Dr. Der-Yang Cho, both autologous and allogeneic CAR-T therapies currently rely on complex and time-consuming ex vivo cell manufacturing processes. For patients with rapidly progressing solid tumors, these approaches are often too slow to meet clinical needs and remain constrained by immune rejection, manufacturing failure, and high costs.
