The novel anti-CD19 autologous CAR T-cell therapy obecabtagene autoleucel achieved durable remissions in 40% of patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia without a subsequent stem cell transplant, according to results from the phase Ib/II FELIX clinical trial presented by Elias Jabbour, professor of leukemia at MD Anderson, at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and collaborators are initiating a research project that will send T cells to the International Space Station to study the effects of prolonged microgravity on cell differentiation, activation, memory, and exhaustion.
