Study Notes
CAR T-Cell Therapy for Childhood Cancer
- First child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with anti-CD19 CAR T-cells in 2012.
- Experienced cytokine-release syndrome (CRS), a life-threatening toxicity.
- Remarkable recovery and ongoing remission for over 6 years.
- Demonstrated potential of CAR T-cell therapy for durable remissions.
- Early-phase trials showed unprecedented success in treating relapsed/refractory CD19-expressing B-cell malignancies, leading to long-term remission/cure.
- FDA approved two anti-CD19 CAR T-cell products for B-cell ALL and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
- Over 100 global trials are underway for CAR T-cells targeting antigens beyond CD19.
