Universal CARs are engineered to recognize multiple tumour antigens simultaneously. Universal CARs, dual CARs, and SUPRA CARs are presented as some of the most advanced CAR design instances.
Independent follow-up evidence is still limited. Validation breadth across biological contexts is still narrow. Independent reuse still looks limited, so the evidence base may be fragile. No canonical validation observations are stored yet, so context-specific performance remains under-specified.
