Recently, a collaborative research study conducted by multiple Chinese medical and research institutions was published in *Nature Medicine*. This study, titled “Allogeneic CD5-specific CAR-T Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory T-ALL: A Phase 1 Trial,” demonstrated the potential of CD5 CAR-T cells in treating relapsed/refractory acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R T-ALL).

### Innovative Therapy Brings Hope

For a long time, patients with relapsed/refractory T-ALL have lacked effective treatment options and faced a poor prognosis. In recent years, CD7 CAR-T cell therapy has shown some efficacy in these patients, but CD7-negative relapse remains a significant challenge. This study focuses on evaluating the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of CD5 CAR-T cells, offering new insights for future treatments.

The study included 19 patients, most of whom had previously received CD7 CAR-T therapy. Results showed that this therapy was safe, with no dose-limiting toxicity observed, and adverse events were primarily manageable hematologic toxicity. In terms of efficacy, all patients achieved complete remission within 30 days of treatment. The study also demonstrated, for the first time, the persistence of CD5 CAR-T cells in the body and their ability to eliminate CD5+ T cells, indicating strong anti-tumor activity.

### Breakthrough in Treating Relapsed Patients

In addition to safety and efficacy, the research team explored the coexistence of CD7 CAR-T and CD5 CAR-T cells and studied immune cell changes in the patients. For those who relapsed after CD7 CAR-T treatment with CD7-negative cells, CD5 CAR-T offered a new salvage therapy, providing additional treatment options for such patients.

### Multidisciplinary Collaboration Drives Clinical Progress

Unlike CAR-T therapies for B-cell tumors, treating T-cell malignancies poses more challenges, particularly in controlling immune deficiencies. Dr. Jing Pan and her team conducted in-depth research on target selection and relapse mechanisms, while also focusing on balancing treatment safety and efficacy.

This study was made possible by the collaborative efforts of various medical institutions in China, collectively opening up a new therapeutic pathway for T-cell tumor patients.

### Looking Ahead

As innovations and advances in T-ALL treatment continue, the team plans to further research CD5 CAR-T therapy and collaborate with experts across various fields to optimize CAR-T treatment protocols, helping more patients with T-cell lymphoblastic tumors overcome their diseases.

This series of research achievements not only brings new hope to patients with R/R T-ALL but also provides valuable insights for the future development and optimization of CAR-T therapies. The team remains committed to a patient-centered approach, striving to drive continuous breakthroughs and innovations in T-cell tumor treatment.

To assess whether the condition is suitable for CAR-T therapy, you can submit pathology reports, treatment history, and discharge summaries to the Medical Department of <Advanced Medicine in China> for preliminary evaluation!
