Outcomes of children and young adults with B-ALL following tisa-cel reinfusion

Anya Kerkache — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 11:31:48 +0000

Kevin McNerney, MD, MSc, Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, St. Petersburg, FL, shares the results of a retrospective study evaluating the safety and efficacy of tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) reinfusion in children and young adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Overall, the study showed that second CAR-T infusions were well tolerated, allowed patients to achieve a complete remission (CR) or re-establish B-cell aplasia (BCA), and could be used as a bridge to transplant. However, most remissions were brief and BCA was limited. This interview took place at the 2023 Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of ASTCT and CIBMTR® held in Orlando, FL.

Phase I study of rapcabtagene autoleucel in patients with R/R DLBCL

Anya Kerkache — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 11:31:46 +0000

Nirav Shah, MD, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI, gives an update on a Phase I study of rapcabtagene autoleucel in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Dr Shah explains that this next-generation CD19 CAR-T therapy has been manufactured using T-Charge, which allows this product to be manufactured faster than other CAR-T therapies, thus helping it to preserve T cell stemness, decrease the dose of infused CAR-Ts, and increase its overall quality. The study identified a safe dose level for further investigations and reported low rates of cytokine release syndrome (CRS). This interview took place at the 2023 Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of ASTCT and CIBMTR® held in Orlando, FL.

KarMMa-3 results: ide-cel vs standard regimens in triple-class exposed multiple myeloma

Anya Kerkache — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 11:31:45 +0000

In this video, Sergio Giralt, MD, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York City, NY, gives an overview of the results of the KarMMa-3 study (NCT03651128), a Phase III trial comparing idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) versus standard regimens in patients with triple class–exposed relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma. The study reported a significant benefit for ide-cel in terms of complete remission (CR) rate and progression-free survival (PFS) across all risk categories. This interview took place at the 2023 Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of ASTCT and CIBMTR® held in Orlando, FL.

Preliminary results from Phase I study of CD123 CAR-T therapy in pediatric R/R AML

Anya Kerkache — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 11:31:44 +0000

In this video, Swati Naik, MBBS, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN, discusses the rationale and preliminary results from a Phase I study evaluating the safety and feasibility of CD123-targeting CAR-Ts in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML; NCT04318678). Dr Naik first explains the challenges associated with designing effective CAR-Ts for AML, including the identification of a suitable target, patient heterogeneity, and the aggressive and immunosuppressive nature of the disease. Dr Naik then comments on the results of the study, which showed evidence of expansion and anti-leukemic activity at different dose levels, with no dose-limiting toxicities. This interview took place at the 2023 Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of ASTCT and CIBMTR® held in Orlando, FL.

Exploring the potential role of CD7-targeting CAR-T cells in T-ALL

Anya Kerkache — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 10:35:18 +0000

Maksim Mamonkin, PhD, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, shares some insights into the promise of CD7-targeting CAR-T therapies for the treatment of patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Dr Mamonkin explains methods used to develop these products, and further highlights the promising activity that has been observed in ongoing clinical trials. This interview took place at the EBMT-EHA 5th European CAR T-cell Meeting held in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Investigating real-world outcomes of patients with R/R LBCL after CD19 CAR-T cell therapy

Anya Kerkache — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 12:12:01 +0000

Veit Buecklein, MD, LMU Munich, Munich, Germany, comments on real-world evidence comparing CD19 CAR-T cell therapy outcomes in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) in Europe and the US. Investigators observed significantly lower progression-free survival (PFS) in the European group, as well as significantly reduced radiographic response. Potential reasons for these differences included an adverse risk profile in European patients, logistical challenges resulting in longer vein-to-vein times, and the more frequent use of  tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) over axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel). This interview took place at the 64th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress held in New Orleans, LA.

Results from a Phase I trial of rapidly manufactured Prgn-3006 Ultracar-T in R/R AML

Anya Kerkache — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 12:11:28 +0000

In this video, David Sallman, MD, Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, FL, outlines the completed Phase I results for Prgn-3006 Ultracar-T in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) CD33+ acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Prgn-3006 Ultracar-T is an autologous CAR-T cell product with decentralized manufacturing that significantly reduces the time between apheresis and CAR-T infusion compared to standard autologous CAR-T therapies. Overall, results suggest that Prgn-3006 Ultracar-T is well tolerated, with only a few grade 3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) events and no dose-limiting toxicities. This interview took place at the 64th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress in New Orleans, LA.
