In recent years, China’s rise in the field of medical innovation has been remarkable, especially with breakthroughs in cancer and hematologic malignancy treatments that are drawing global attention. Today, we are introducing a cutting-edge treatment from China—donor-derived CLL-1 CAR-T therapy, which offers new hope for adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This advanced therapy provides a novel option when conventional treatments prove ineffective.

In AML treatment, the CLL-1 antigen (also known as CD371) is an ideal target, as it is highly expressed on AML leukemic stem cells but not on healthy hematopoietic stem cells. CAR-T therapy targeting CLL-1 can precisely attack AML cells while minimizing effects on healthy immune cells, offering a specific treatment choice with fewer side effects.

### Success Cases of Donor-Derived CLL-1 CAR-T Therapy in China

A 17-year-old Chinese high school student successfully underwent donor-derived CLL-1 CAR-T treatment, providing critical evidence of the therapy’s potential. After being diagnosed with AML, he went through multiple rounds of chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation, but frequent relapses made treatment exceedingly difficult. Due to a lack of sufficient lymphocytes for autologous CAR-T therapy, doctors decided to use donor-derived CLL-1 CAR-T therapy, followed by an allogeneic stem cell transplant.

– **Treatment Process:** After successfully collecting donor lymphocytes and completing preconditioning, the patient received two CAR-T cell infusions. Initially, he experienced mild fever, a common reaction to cytokine release syndrome (CRS), but his condition soon improved significantly.

– **Remarkable Effectiveness:** On the eighth day post-infusion, bone marrow testing showed no cancer cells, lab results returned to normal, and he successfully completed the allogeneic stem cell transplant. During follow-up, his condition remained stable without signs of relapse, and he has since returned to school, resuming a normal life.

### The Breakthrough Significance of China’s CAR-T Therapy in Global AML Treatment

Chinese experts believe that China’s donor-derived CLL-1 CAR-T therapy has significant value in AML treatment, particularly for patients who are unable to undergo conventional CAR-T therapy due to insufficient lymphocytes. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is an effective AML treatment, but the high relapse rate remains challenging. Introducing CAR-T therapy before transplantation can significantly reduce the risk of relapse, extend patient survival, and improve quality of life. Most patients tolerate the therapy well, with only mild adverse reactions, such as CRS and minor neurotoxicity, and long-term follow-up shows durable effectiveness.

China’s breakthrough in CAR-T therapy for AML provides a new model for leukemia treatment worldwide. China’s donor-derived CLL-1 CAR-T therapy not only brings hope to patients but also offers valuable insights to the global medical community in leukemia treatment. As medical technology advances, Chinese CAR-T therapy will bring benefits to more leukemia patients, helping them achieve long-term survival and improved quality of life.

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!
