"CAR-T"

According to an announcement from Caribou Biosciences, the FDA has granted advanced therapy designation in regenerative medicine for the cutting-edge CAR-T therapy CB-010 for the treatment of relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma and fast track designation for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Science has published two consecutive research articles that suggest new ways to improve the efficacy of CAR-T for solid tumours.

For patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, the CAR-T cell therapy Ide-cel resulted in a two-fold increase in the average length of time that patients' tumours did not progress compared to standard treatment, with 71% of patients experiencing substantial tumour regression and 39% experiencing complete tumour disappearance.

CAR-T therapy is a cellular immunotherapy treatment that has become very popular in recent years. This therapy uses genetic engineering techniques to upgrade the patient's immune T cells in vitro, before entering the body to exert a powerful anti-cancer effect. Currently, CAR-T therapy has performed very well in blood cancers such as lymphoma and leukaemia.
