Journal ArticleDOI

Potent antitumor efficacy of anti-GD2 CAR T cells in H3-K27M+ diffuse midline gliomas.

TL;DR: It is reported that patient-derived H3-K27M-mutant glioma cell cultures exhibit uniform, high expression of the disialoganglioside GD2, thereby making these tumors susceptible to chimeric antigen receptor T cell–based immunotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tuning the Antigen Density Requirement for CAR T-cell Activity.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CD19 CAR activity is dependent upon antigen density and the CAR construct in axicabtagene-ciloleucel (CD19-CD28z) outperforms that in tisagenlecleucel(CD19) against antigen low tumors and CARs incorporating a CD28-H/T demonstrate a more stable and efficient immunological synapse.
Journal ArticleDOI

PEGylation strategies for active targeting of PLA/PLGA nanoparticles.

TL;DR: Copolymers of PLGA with PEG were determined to be more effective and versatile by polymerization of lactide and glycolide dimers onto the hydroxyl group of heterofunctional OH-PEG-COOH than by conjugation of the premade polymers with carbodiimide chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase I Trial Using CD19/CD22 Bispecific CAR T Cells in Pediatric and Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

TL;DR: The combined single institution experience to date of pediatric and adult patients with R/R ALL treated with this novel bispecific CAR is presented and no differences in toxicities were seen across the patient age spectrum and there were no cases of treatment-related mortality within 28 days following CAR T infusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repurposing Drugs for Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Worthy Cause or a Futile Pursuit?

TL;DR: This review provides an overview of previously U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved non-chemotherapy drugs under investigation for the treatment of AML and suggests several approaches to identify new therapies with fewer financial and regulatory hurdles.
