T cells expressing CD19 chimeric antigen receptors for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in children and young adults: a phase 1 dose-escalation trial

TLDR
CD19-CAR T cell therapy is feasible, safe, and mediates potent anti-leukaemic activity in children and young adults with chemotherapy-resistant B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Tisagenlecleucel in Children and Young Adults with B-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia

TL;DR: In this global study of CAR T‐cell therapy, a single infusion of tisagenlecleucel provided durable remission with long‐term persistence in pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed or refractory B‐cell ALL, with transient high‐grade toxic effects.

Adoptive cell transfer as personalized immunotherapy for human cancer.

TL;DR: The ability to genetically engineer lymphocytes to express conventional T cell receptors or chimeric antigen receptors has further extended the successful application of ACT for cancer treatment.

Long-Term Follow-up of CD19 CAR Therapy in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

TL;DR: A phase 1 trial involving adults with relapsed B‐cell ALL who received an infusion of autologous T cells expressing the 19‐28z CAR at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center found that patients with a low disease burden before treatment had markedly enhanced remission duration and survival and had a markedly lower incidence of the cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxic events after infusion.

Revised response criteria for malignant lymphoma

TL;DR: New guidelines incorporating PET, IHC, and flow cytometry for definitions of response in non-Hodgkin's and Hodgkin's lymphoma are presented and it is hoped that they will be adopted widely by study groups, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and regulatory agencies to facilitate the development of new and more effective therapies to improve the outcome of patients with lymphoma.

C-reactive protein: a critical update

TL;DR: Information is provided about CRP as a protein and an acute-phase reactant, and a knowledge-based framework for interpretation and analysis of clinical observations of CRP in relation to cardiovascular and other diseases, that identifies it as a possible therapeutic target.

Chimeric Antigen Receptor–Modified T Cells in Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia

TL;DR: A low dose of autologous chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells reinfused into a patient with refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia expanded to a level that was more than 1000 times as high as the initial engraftment level in vivo, with delayed development of the tumor lysis syndrome and with complete remission.

T Cells with Chimeric Antigen Receptors Have Potent Antitumor Effects and Can Establish Memory in Patients with Advanced Leukemia

TL;DR: It is reported that CAR T cells that target CD19 and contain a costimulatory domain from CD137 and the T cell receptor ζ chain have potent non–cross-resistant clinical activity after infusion in three of three patients treated with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
