TLDR
The data supports the safety of CD19-specific CAR T cell therapy for R/R B-ALL and suggest that dose intensity of conditioning chemotherapy and minimal pre-treatment disease burden have a positive impact on response without a negative effect on toxicity.

Long-Term Follow-Up of CD19-CAR T-Cell Therapy in Children and Young Adults With B-ALL.

TL;DR: PURPOSECD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CD19-CAR) T cells induce high response rates in children and young adults (CAYAs) with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) but relapse rates are high as discussed by the authors.

How I prevent infections in patients receiving CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cells for B-cell malignancies.

TL;DR: This discussion will provide a framework for institutions and healthcare providers to formulate their own approach to preventing infections in light of the paucity of data specific to this treatment modality.

Chimeric antigen receptor T cells for sustained remissions in leukemia.

TL;DR: Chimeric antigen receptor-modified T-cell therapy against CD19 was effective in treating relapsed and refractory ALL and was associated with a high remission rate, even among patients for whom stem-cell transplantation had failed, and durable remissions up to 24 months were observed.

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.
