Bijal D. Shah, MD, medical oncology, of Moffit Cancer Center, discusses the status of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

The first FDA approval will likely be in pediatric ALL, Shah says. However, in the adult patients with ALL, researchers are closely behind.
