The OncLive CAR T-cell therapy condition center page is a comprehensive resource for clinical news and expert insights on FDA-approved and investigational CAR T-cell products in hematologic malignancies, specifically acute lymphoblastic leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. CAR T-cell research in solid tumors is also under exploration. This page features news articles, interviews in written and video format, and podcasts that focus on updates with CAR T-cell therapy and the ongoing research with this type of treatment.

CAR T Cell Functionality Correlates With Outcomes, Offering a Biomarker for Response
The flexibility of CAR T cells to perform multiple functions was associated with the level of clinical activity elicited for patients with advanced non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, according to a retrospective analysis presented at the 2017 AACR Annual Meeting.
CAR T-Cell Response Rate Tops 80% in NHL Trial
Results of a phase II trial showed that more than 80% of patients with refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma achieved objective responses to treatment with the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy axicabtagene ciloleucel.
FDA Grants Priority Review to CTL019 for ALL
The FDA has granted a priority review designation to tisagenlecleucel-T as a treamtnet for pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed and refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, making it the first CAR T-cell therapy to enter regulatory review.
Juno Accelerates Development of JCAR017, Halts JCAR015
Juno therapeutics has shifted its focus toward the development of JCAR017 for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma after a series of toxicity-related setbacks culminated in the need to halt the development of JCAR015.
Nursing Coordination Invaluable to Successful Delivery of CAR T Therapy
Proper care coordination and patient education are essential to the success of delivering chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, particularly in preparing patients for potential adverse events.
