Treatment with the first-generation precision cell therapy Orca-T led to a significant reduction in cases of graft-versus-host disease, an impressive GVHD relapse-free survival rate, a lack of treatment-related mortalities, while showcasing scalability potential.

The HSPC therapy showed fetal hemoglobin production in transfusion-dependent patients in a matter of months—with sustained results over 1 year.

Treatment with the investigative gene cell therapy betibeglogene autotemcel led to durable transfusion independence in 87% of pediatric patients less than 18 years of age with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia with a median average hemoglobin of 11.3 g/dL.

Responsiveness to treatment received immediately prior to CAR T-cell therapy may not be associated with post–CAR T outcomes in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who receive axicabtagene ciloleucel.

FLT201 is a combination of AAVS3 capsid and a liver-specific promotor to drive the expression of GCasevar85.

New WORLDSymposium findings show a treated patient had 100% reduction in the accumulating fatty substrate associated with the burdensome rare disease after 1 year.

The goal of the CARTITUDE-1 study was to evaluate the use of ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel; JNJ-68284528) chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

December 21, 2020 - A rolling submission of the biologics license application for the BCMA-directed CAR T-cell product ciltacabtagene autoleucel for use in adults with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma has been initiated to the FDA.

What started out as a journey to better understand regulatory T cells has now led to an intriguing approach with an investigational cell therapy designed to prevent the risk of graft-versus-host disease and to improve relapse-free survival rates in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

An off-the-shelf CAR T-cell therapy that targets B-cell maturation antigen, ALLO-715, elicited responses in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma in early findings from a first-in-human study presented at the 2020 ASH Meeting.

Treatment with the BCMA-targeted CAR T-cell therapy idecabtagene vicleucel was found to yield clinically meaningful improvements in the quality-of-life of triple-class exposed patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

December 6, 2020 - Odronextamab, is a novel CD20xCD3 bispecific antibody, continues to show intriguing antitumor activity and an acceptable safety profile in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including those who have previously received chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy.

Spyridoula Vasileiou, PhD, discusses the potential role of ALVR109​, a SARS-CoV-2 virus–specific T-cell therapy, for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019.

The study presented at AAO provides an update on previously shared 6-month data from earlier this year.
