CAR T-Cell Therapy

The phase 2 ELARA trial achieved durable responses in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma who were treated with tisagenlecleucel.

In the phase 3 TRANSFORM study, lisocabtagene maraleucel bested standard of care as treatment of patients with high-risk relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

In the real-world setting. Patients treated with the chimeric antigen receptor T-cell agent, axicabtagene ciloleucel experience similar quality-of-life outcomes to patients who were treated in clinical trials.

The clinical hold for the development of BEAM-201 has been lifted, allowing investigators to assess the agent in patients with relapsed/refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/ T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma.

The allogeneic CAR T-cell therapy CB-010 received regenerative medicine advanced therapy and Fast Track designations for the treatment of patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Findings from the phase 1 CALM study evaluating the allogeneic genome-edited anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell product UCART19 show it can be safely used for patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

In pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, complete remissions were achieved in 99.0% of patients and their overall 12-month event-free survival was 73.5% with CD19-/CD22-chimeric antigen receptor therapy.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Michael T. Tees, MD, discussed the donor-derived CAR T-cell product, ALLO-501A, and research supporting the agent.

Nitin Jain, MD, discusses clinical trials investigating allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and other hematologic malignancies.

Retrospective real-world evidence shows that patients who relapse after B-cell maturation antigen chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy may have multiple treatment options, including salvage therapy and T-cell engagers.

The CAR T-cell therapy tisagenlecleucel showed promising anti-tumor activity in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Nitin Jain, MD, further discussed the ongoing research of allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor T cells as treatment for patients with ALL. He also notes what future research must examine to further the field.

Adam Cohen, MD, discusses when patients should receive chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Peter A. McSweeney, MD, discusses the challenges that come with administering chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy. He also explains how CAR T cells entering the second-line may change the ways community practices choose treatments for their patients.

A multicenter trial of the CAR T-cell product MB-106 has treated its first patient, Mustang Bio, Inc announced.

The first trial investigating a chimeric antigen receptor therapy to target GPRC5D in patients with resistant multiple myeloma reveals remissions in 70.6% of the enrolled patients.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Peter A. McSweeney discussed the ways in which community oncology centers are implementing chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy into their practice and the challenges that come with it.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy provides a new option for patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma.

Sattva S. Neelapu, MD will discuss chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy will in lymphoma iduring a session at the SOHO 2022 Annual Meeting.

With two recently approved chimeric antigen receptor T therapies targeting B-cell maturation antigen, this novel platform has altered the treatment paradigm for heavily-pretreated patients with multiple myeloma.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Mazyar Shadman, MD, MPH, discussed what community oncologists should keep in mind when treating patients who are viable for CAR T-cell therapy.

In a retrospective analysis of 115 patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who progressed after therapy on a bispecific antibody, researchers found that the myeloma patients can be salvaged with sequential T-cell redirection therapy.

The investigational carcinoembryonic antigen claudin 6–directed CAR T-cell therapy BNT211-01 displayed clinical activity in combination with a CLDN6-encoding mRNA vaccine in patients with CLDN6-positive relapsed/refractory advanced solid tumors.

Steven M. Albelda, MD, discusses what he expects the future of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell use in solid tumors to look like.

Nicolas Gazeau, MS, discusses next steps and unmet needs following a positive retrospective study of anakinra for the management of neurotoxicity and cytokine release syndrome in patients who received chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy.
