Study shows that patients receiving CAR T-cell therapy have improved QOL six months post-treatment

Next-gen CAR-T therapy shows “dramatic and rapid” regression of glioblastoma, Mass General phase I study finds

Just days after a single treatment, patients experienced dramatic reductions in their tumors, with one patient achieving near-complete tumor regression, according to the results of a phase I study conducted by researchers at Mass General Cancer Center.

How flow cytometry is changing the diagnostic landscape

When our hematological malignancy testing pilot project began in Eldoret, Kenya, there seemed to be a mismatch in relation to progress in healthcare. The region, like much of sub-Saharan Africa, had been focusing on combatting infectious diseases such as HIV and malaria—which was much-needed—yet cancer care was under-resourced.

Cytokine-armored CAR T-cell therapy helps eliminate aggressive brain tumors in UCLA preclinical study

Scientists at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed a cytokine-armored CAR T-cell therapy that helps the immune system better attack aggressive brain tumors in mice while reducing dangerous side effects that have long limited immune-based treatments for glioblastoma, one of the deadliest and most treatment-resistant brain cancers.

CAR T-cell therapy for high-risk smoldering MM shows deep and lasting responses in phase II study

In the phase II CAR-PRISM (PRecision Intervention Smoldering Myeloma) clinical trial, the first to investigate CAR T-cell therapy in patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma, all 20 patients were negative for minimal residual disease within two months of treatment and remained MRD-negative after a median of 15.3 months of follow-up.
