TLDR
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.
Abstract
Background In a single-center phase 1–2a study, the anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy tisagenlecleucel produced high rates of complete remission and was associated with serious but mainly reversible toxic effects in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) Methods We conducted a phase 2, single-cohort, 25-center, global study of tisagenlecleucel in pediatric and young adult patients with CD19+ relapsed or refractory B-cell ALL The primary end point was the overall remission rate (the rate of complete remission or complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery) within 3 months Results For this planned analysis, 75 patients received an infusion of tisagenlecleucel and could be evaluated for efficacy The overall remission rate within 3 months was 81%, with all patients who had a response to treatment found to be negative for minimal residual disease, as assessed by means of flow cytometry The rates of event-f

“MIATA”—Minimal Information about T Cell Assays

TL;DR: There are currently no standards for reporting results of vaccine testing in patients with a variety of tumor types and chronic viral diseases, and yet the best way to assess the clinical potential of these vaccines is to monitor the induced T cell response, so this letter is an effort to address this problem.
