Antitumor activity and long-term fate of chimeric antigen receptor–positive T cells in patients with neuroblastoma

TLDR
It is shown that GD2-CAR T cells can induce complete tumor responses in patients with active neuroblastoma; these CAR T cells may have extended, low-level persistence in patients, and such persistence was associated with longer survival.

Adoptive immunotherapy for cancer: harnessing the T cell response

TL;DR: Progress in the use of adoptively transferred T cells is discussed, focusing on how they can mediate tumour cell eradication, including more accurate targeting of antigens expressed by tumours and the associated vasculature.

4-1BB costimulation ameliorates T cell exhaustion induced by tonic signaling of chimeric antigen receptors

TL;DR: It is shown that tonic CAR CD3-ζ phosphorylation, triggered by antigen-independent clustering of CAR single-chain variable fragments, can induce early exhaustion of CAR T cells that limits antitumor efficacy, and that CD28 costimulation augments, whereas 4-1BB costimulations reduces, exhaustion induced by persistent CAR signaling.

The Basic Principles of Chimeric Antigen Receptor Design

TL;DR: This review focuses on the design ofCARs, including the requirements for optimal antigen recognition and different modalities to provide costimulatory support to targeted T cells, which include the use of second- and third generation CARs, costimulation ligands, chimericcostimulatory receptors, and cytokines.

A Class of $K$-Sample Tests for Comparing the Cumulative Incidence of a Competing Risk

Robert Gray
- 01 Jan 1988 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a class of tests developed for comparing the cumulative incidence of a particular type of failure among different groups is presented. The tests are based on comparing weighted averages of the hazards of the subdistribution for the failure type of interest.

Cancer Regression and Autoimmunity in Patients After Clonal Repopulation with Antitumor Lymphocytes

TL;DR: The adoptive transfer of highly selected tumor-reactive T cells directed against overexpressed self-derived differentiation antigens after a nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen resulted in the persistent clonal repopulation of T cells in cancer patients, leading to regression of the patients' metastatic melanoma as well as to the onset of autoimmune melanocyte destruction.

Revisions of the international criteria for neuroblastoma diagnosis, staging, and response to treatment.

TL;DR: The International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS) as mentioned in this paper was proposed to establish an internationally accepted staging system for neuroblastoma, as well as consistent criteria for confirming the diagnosis and determining response to therapy.
