Treatment with CD19/22 chimeric antigen receptor CAR T cells induced a promising response in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Further understanding of how COVID-19 vaccinations affect CAR T-cell therapy recipients is needed.
Updated data were presented at the ASH 2022 annual meeting.
The Clinical Trials reported in this issue include: PHASE III: 1) What Factors Predict Prognosis in Patients With Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma? 2) Treatment for Patients With High-Risk Postoperative Breast Cancer PHASE II: 1) Epratuzumab Plus Rituximab Equals Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Response 2) Topotecan Added to Twice-Daily Chemoradiation to Treat Limited- Stage, Small-Cell Lung Cancer 3) First-Line Therapy for Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer 4) Radiotherapy for Nasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Therapy PHASE I/II: 1) A New Combination Approach for Advanced-Stage Germ-Cell Tumors
A recent study suggests patients may be selected for therapy based on the number of EGFR gene copies, and evaluated for clinical benefit based on the severity of the rash that often develops.
Recent studies have demonstrated that somatic mutations of ATM denote greater response to radiation therapy and that gene patterns may help predict the timing of recurrence following radiation.
CALEC completely restored the cornea in 50% of participants at their 3-month visit and that rate of complete success increased to 79% and 77% at their 12- and 18-month visits, respectively.
Krystal Biotech's B-VEC was well-tolerated and the treated patient experienced significant improvement in visual acuity.
An international panel of experts discussed needs and challenges in the field.
Three-year follow-up from the phase I/IIa trial of rAAV.sFlt-1 subretinal injection is encouraging for gene therapy for exudative age-related macular degeneration.
Gene therapy to treat choroideremia is one step closer to reality thanks to a new study.
Studies have demonstrated positive data that suggest in vivo gene editing will be the future treatment paradigm for retinal diseases.
A novel gene therapy approach for the treatment of a type of inherited retinal disease appears to be safe and effective in initial trials. Results offer hope for the treatment of a gamut of eye diseases that once were thought to be untreatable, according to one researcher.
