Why Soon-Shiong Thinks His Triangle Offense for Cancer Can Be Applied to COVID-19

from The Bio Report · host Levine Media Group

Patrick Soon-Shiong likes to talk about the “triangle offense,” the activation of a combination of macrophages, natural killer cells, and memory T-cells to battle cancer. He believes the same approach he has been working to train on cancer can be enlisted in the fight against COVID-19, the virus behind today’s global pandemic. We spoke to Soon-Shiong, chairman and CEO of NantKwest, about his approach to immunotherapy, what results he’s seen to date, and why he believes what he’s learned about harnessing the immune system in the fight against cancer can be applied to treating COVID-19.
