Donor-derived CD19-targeted CAR-NK cells induce complete remission in a child with relapsed B-ALL after failure of blinatumomab and autologous CD19-targeted CAR-T

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer | |

<p>Relapse remains the primary cause of treatment failure and death in pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Novel therapeutic approaches are imperative for those who are refractory to blinatumomab and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy. CAR-natural killer (NK) cells have emerged as promising candidates for novel cancer immunotherapies, with enhanced antitumor activity and low rates of adverse events.…
