Seeking Medical Treatment Abroad: The Best CAR-T Therapy is in China! The First Russian Multiple Myeloma Patient Successfully Achieves Complete Tumor Clearance and CR!

patient story

Over the five years following his diagnosis of high-risk multiple myeloma, Mr. F endured relentless pain. Despite undergoing various chemotherapy regimens and two transplants, he could never completely escape the nightmare of unpredictable tumor recurrence and progression. Fortunately, by the end of 2023, his condition temporarily stabilized. Accompanied by top hematology experts from Russia, Mr. F traveled to China to receive CAR-T therapy, achieving optimal results with complete tumor eradication and CR (complete remission).

Achieved CR! In February 2024, Mr. F and his family successfully returned to Russia to resume their happy lives.

(Note: To protect patient privacy, pseudonyms are used in the text, and the medical details and treatment process have been slightly modified.)

Common Back Pain Turned Out to Be High-Risk Multiple Myeloma

Mr. F, 63, is the vice principal of a technical college in St. Petersburg, Russia. He has a successful career and a happy family with his wife, one son, and two daughters. In the months leading up to Christmas 2017, Mr. F experienced worsening back pain, with severe pain in the lumbar region. Accompanied by his family, he went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The final diagnosis was multiple myeloma, with osteolytic lesions in more than three areas. The doctor informed Mr. F that, based on the comprehensive assessment of various test results, his myeloma was classified as high-risk (IgG-type, DS-Stage IIIA, ISS-Stage II), making it difficult to treat, prone to relapse, and with a poor prognosis. This devastating news struck suddenly, plunging the entire family into shock and panic. In an interview, Mr. F said, “In Chinese culture, Confucius said, ‘When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a man, it always first frustrates his spirit,’ viewing it as a life test. In Western culture, it is seen as God’s punishment, a trial one must endure, with the outcome entirely dependent on how one faces these challenges. I must choose to fight!”

Relapse and Progression: The Unshakeable Nightmare for Multiple Myeloma Patients

After two days of shock and panic, Mr. F decided to pull himself together and seek the best treatment to fight the tumor. Mr. F and his family consulted many doctors and clinics in Spain, Munich, and Heidelberg. Upon learning that CAR-T therapy had remarkable curative effects on hematologic malignancies, they felt a glimmer of hope, which was soon extinguished. At that time, very few countries offered CAR-T therapy, mostly in developed nations, and the exorbitant cost of nearly a million dollars made it unaffordable even for the well-off Mr. F. To control the disease as quickly as possible, Mr. F underwent traditional CVD therapy in Russia at the beginning of 2018, followed by his first autologous bone marrow transplant, achieving partial remission (PR). Unfortunately, just ten months later, his multiple myeloma relapsed. After switching to a second-line chemotherapy regimen, he underwent a second autologous bone marrow transplant. Despite receiving the most aggressive treatment and enduring life-threatening side effects, tumor lesions persisted in his body, like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment. Although maintenance therapy temporarily stabilized the disease, Mr. F and his family remained vigilant. They knew that high-risk myeloma was likely to relapse and progress again in the short term. If the disease worsened once more, they would face a desperate situation with no available treatments.

Global Comparison Shows the Best CAR-T Therapy is in China!

To completely rid himself of cancer and escape the nightmare of constant relapse and deterioration, five years later, Mr. F and his family once again sought the possibility of a cure through CAR-T therapy worldwide. They conducted extensive research on the CAR-T therapies already on the market and consulted numerous hospitals and experts in Europe, including in India and Israel. To his surprise, despite five years passing, there had been no significant progress in these countries. Almost every expert mentioned that Chinese hospitals had made tremendous advancements in the CAR-T field, surpassing even those in Europe and the United States. Especially for multiple myeloma, on June 30, 2023, China introduced the world’s first fully human BCMA CAR-T therapy, Iquilence. Mr. F and his attending physician immediately contacted Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital in China for an initial remote consultation. Jiahui Hospital, an internationally aligned oncology center with a professional multidisciplinary MDT team, conducted a preliminary evaluation. They concluded that the Iquilence (BCMA CAR-T) treatment plan would be most beneficial and developed a comprehensive plan, addressing all questions and concerns of Mr. F and the Russian experts, ultimately reaching a consensus on the treatment plan.

Professor Li Hua, Director of Oncology at Jiahui International Cancer Center, and his team of Russian hematology experts discussed Mr. F’s treatment plan. Although Mr. F was somewhat aware of China’s medical advancements, he couldn’t imagine that China’s healthcare had surpassed that of the developed Western countries. Therefore, in November 2023, Mr. F’s attending physician, a renowned Russian hematology expert, accompanied him to China to evaluate the feasibility of Chinese CAR-T therapy on-site. Their first stop upon arriving in China was to meet with Jiahui Hospital’s international multidisciplinary treatment team and tour the medical environment that adheres to international nursing standards.

Professor Li Hua, Director of Jiahui International Cancer Center, and his team provided a detailed introduction to the CAR-T treatment plan. Compared to traditional treatments, CAR-T has unique advantages. Firstly, it is a highly personalized treatment that adjusts the patient’s immune system through genetic engineering, providing a more precise response to cancer treatment. Secondly, CAR-T shows significantly higher efficacy in complex cases, which traditional treatments cannot achieve. Iquilence has an overall response rate of nearly 99% and a complete response rate of up to 82.4%. More importantly, fully human CAR-T not only maintains the patient’s quality of life but also provides more durable treatment effects. Additionally, a one-time infusion treatment achieves rapid and effective results, reducing the pain and burden during the treatment process and bringing hope for a cure.+

The second stop for Mr. F and the Russian experts was a visit to the production facility of the world’s first fully human BCMA CAR-T therapy, Iquilence. Mr. F and the Russian experts were impressed to learn that this exceptional therapy was not only entirely developed in-house, but the lentiviral vector was also independently developed. The facility boasts a complete end-to-end development platform and a self-built manufacturing base.

Finally, Mr. F overcame all his concerns and was convinced that China’s fully human BCMA CAR-T solution was world-leading. He decided to undergo treatment in China.

All Tumors Cleared for the First Time, Advanced Myeloma Achieves CR!

In December 2023, just before another Christmas five years after his diagnosis, Mr. F and his family arrived in China, full of hope for a cure, to officially begin his CAR-T journey. At Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital, Mr. F underwent thorough examinations, and after meeting all the requirements, he successfully underwent apheresis, the process of collecting T cells. These cells were then transported back to the factory within 24 hours to create a precisely targeted anti-cancer weapon tailored for Mr. F.

On January 20, 2024, he received lymphodepleting chemotherapy with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide.

On January 25, 2024, the CAR-T cells, carrying the hopes of Mr. F’s entire family, were transported to him by the pharmacy team using professional cold chain logistics. After multiple inspections, unpacking, and reactivation, a small bag of milky white liquid was infused back into Mr. F. The doctors explained that this liquid contained hundreds of billions of “special forces” T cells, which, once in the body, would begin an intense sweep to eradicate the myeloma cells completely.

The infusion process went smoothly. What deeply moved Mr. F and his family was that whenever he felt anxious, the medical team would hold his hand, giving him confidence and strength.

Although a mild cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which is common after CAR-T therapy, occurred post-infusion, the medical team at Jiahui Hospital was very experienced in handling this. With symptomatic treatment, the symptoms improved in about a week. On the 14th day after the infusion, the evaluation showed that the CAR-T cells had expanded effectively in Mr. F’s body, reaching 10^9.

Mr. F said that, unlike the two painful transplant experiences, despite knowing that CAR-T therapy has side effects, the medical team clearly informed him about the reactions he might have at different stages and assured him that the medical staff would address them immediately. As a result, he felt no concerns or fears.

Before the Chinese New Year in 2024, Mr. F was discharged and returned to Russia for further follow-up in his home country. Professor Li Hua said, “The treatment results met our expectations, with significant improvements in key indicators such as serum M protein, free light chains, and disease symptoms. All functional statuses have improved.”

In May 2024, the PET-CT results showed that Mr. F’s lesions had disappeared, and he finally achieved complete remission (CR). This means that after battling multiple myeloma for six years, he has finally won!

A Brighter Future: China Will Become the Best Treatment Destination for Advanced Myeloma Patients!

Now, Mr. F not only resumes his happy and fulfilling life, but he and his wife have also returned to their beloved careers. He currently serves as the General Manager of the UNESCO Mineral Resources Education Center.

Mr. F said, “When I came to China and saw the medical conditions and experienced the best care firsthand, I felt a deep sense of pride for China. It is regrettable that Russia is currently unable to achieve this level of care. However, I will bring my experiences here back to Russia and share them. China’s medical system is world-leading, and choosing to come to China was the right decision!”

In an interview, Mr. F’s wife said, “Although we are past retirement age, we both have very important careers. This CAR-T treatment in China has given us a very precious experience. We have more time to listen to each other’s thoughts, support each other, and get through difficult times together.”

Professor Li Hua, Director of the International Oncology Hospital and Director of the Department of Oncology, said in an interview:

“Clinical research on CAR-T therapy started relatively early in China. Especially since 2020, the number of CAR-T clinical trials in China has far surpassed that in the United States, giving us extensive experience from laboratory research to clinical application.

Moreover, CAR-T treatment in China is more cost-effective, providing patients with a more competitive option.

Most importantly, China has sufficient commercial-quality production capacity. Patients can receive treatment quickly without waiting, which is crucial for those with malignant hematologic diseases who need timely treatment.”

Professor Li Hua, Director of Oncology at Jiahui International Hospital,

The emergence of CAR-T cell therapy has brought new hope to cancer patients worldwide. China’s CAR-T therapy offers outstanding efficacy, good safety, low cost, and rapid preparation advantages. Several international hospitals have opened green channels for overseas patients, making China the best treatment destination for global late-stage multiple myeloma patients!

Chinese Medical Team: Long Survival and Significant Benefits with BCMA CAR-T Treatment for RRMM: A 5-Year Outlook

RRMM

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is one of the most promising new treatments for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), but reports on its long-term efficacy and safety are limited. As early as 2022, Professor Du Juan’s team from the Department of Hematology at Shanghai Changzheng Hospital published a Phase I/II study demonstrating that patients with poor physical status could also benefit from CAR-T therapy. Recently, the team updated their findings with a five-year long-term follow-up, focusing on factors affecting long-term clinical benefits. The results were published in Clinical Cancer Research. The following summary of the study’s content is provided by Cancer Information for readers’ benefit.

### Evidence for Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of BCMA CAR-T Cell Therapy

#### Patient Characteristics

The study included 49 RRMM patients who had all received at least three prior lines of therapy before undergoing BCMA CAR-T cell treatment. At enrollment, 20 patients (40.82%) had poor physical status (ECOG performance status of 3-4), 42.86% had high-risk cytogenetic features, and 63.27% had received four or more lines of treatment. At the time of infusion, 79.59% had progressive disease. Among the patients with poor physical status, 30% had extramedullary disease (EMD), 45% had high-risk cytogenetic features, 70% had received four or more lines of treatment, and 80% had progressive disease after their last line of treatment.

#### Efficacy Evaluation of BCMA CAR-T Cell Therapy HDS269B

After a median follow-up of 59.0 months, the study showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 77.55%. The ORR was similar across patients with different ECOG scores. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 9.5 months, and the median overall survival (OS) was 20.0 months. The five-year PFS and OS rates were 21.3% and 31.4%, respectively. For patients with ECOG scores of 0-2, the median PFS was 11.0 months, compared to 4.0 months for those with scores of 3-4 (P=0.18). The median OS was 41.8 months for ECOG 0-2 patients and 10.5 months for ECOG 3-4 patients (P=0.015).

Patients who had previously undergone four or more lines of therapy had significantly shorter PFS and OS compared to those who had received fewer than four lines (PFS: P=0.012; OS: P=0.0049). Among the 11 patients with EMD at enrollment, the ORR was 64% for those with EMD and 82% for those without EMD. However, median PFS and OS were notably shorter in patients with EMD (PFS: 3.0 months vs. 10.5 months, P=0.06; OS: 5.0 months vs. 24.0 months, P=0.03).

#### MRD-Negative Status and CAR-T Cell Persistence Indicate Better Long-Term Survival

Minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity was significantly associated with longer PFS and OS. In this study, MRD data were available for 22 patients on day 28 post-infusion, with 14 patients (63.64%) achieving MRD negativity (10^-4). These patients experienced significantly longer PFS and OS compared to MRD-positive patients. Similar associations were observed with MRD status at 3 and 6 months post-infusion.

The expansion of CAR-T cells was also closely related to clinical outcomes. Patients who achieved partial response (PR) or better had higher CAR-T cell peak levels. Patients without disease progression five years post-infusion had significantly higher CAR-T cell expansion peaks than those with progression. Additionally, the duration of CAR-T cell persistence correlated with longer PFS and OS, with patients having CAR-T cells persisting for ≥6 months, ≥12 months, ≥24 months, and ≥36 months showing significantly better PFS and OS than those without detectable CAR-T cells.

#### Controlled Safety Profile of BCMA CAR-T Cell Therapy HDS269B

No new CAR-T cell-related toxicities were observed during long-term follow-up. All patients experienced at least one adverse event (AE), with the most common long-term (≥28 days post-infusion) grade ≥3 AEs being hematologic in nature. No second primary malignancies or delayed immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) were observed.

This study also included survival analysis, classifying patients by PFS and OS. The results indicated that ECOG 0-2 status, fewer than four prior therapies, and CAR-T cell persistence for ≥6 months were independently associated with longer survival.

### The Potential of BCMA CAR-T Therapy and the Need for Future Optimization

Through a five-year long-term follow-up of 49 RRMM patients, this study systematically evaluated the efficacy and safety of BCMA CAR-T cell therapy HDS269B. The findings suggest that poor physical status is not a contraindication for CAR-T therapy, thus broadening the indications for this treatment. While the results are encouraging, the study has some limitations, including its open-label, single-arm design and small sample size, which, combined with the long follow-up period, could lead to some patient attrition. Furthermore, despite the lack of new severe toxicities, long-term safety requires continued observation.

Overall, this study underscores the importance of BCMA CAR-T cell therapy in the treatment of RRMM and provides a crucial basis for exploring and applying CAR-T immunotherapy in the frontline treatment of multiple myeloma.

Chinese CAR-T cell clinical and therapeutic have entered a period of rapid growth!

**Chinese CAR-T cell clinical and therapeutic have entered a period of rapid growth!**

Chinese CAR-T

According to the American clinical trial database Clinicaltrials, as of November 10, 2023, China has taken the lead in CAR-T cell therapy clinical research with a total of 655 studies, marking the country’s first foray into the international forefront of a new drug development field. Among them, Legend Biotech’s SicajioLunsei and Koji Pharmaceutical’s Claudin18.2 CAR-T have both achieved global leadership. Additionally, several companies are also advancing next-generation CAR-T and allogeneic CAR-T technologies, showing promising initial data and potential for global market success.

CAR-T therapy

In terms of pricing, all three Chinese CAR-T therapies cost less than 1.3 million RMB (approximately 180,000 USD), only one-third of Novartis’s Kymriah. Specifically, JW Therapeutics’ Beinoda (Relmacabtagene autoleucel) is priced at 1.29 million RMB, FOSUNKITE’s Yikaida (Yescarta) is priced at 1.2 million RMB, and IASO’s Fukesu (Equecabtagene ciloleucel) is priced at 1.166 million RMB. Furthermore, Juventas, a domestic Chinese CAR-T product developed by Hegen Biotech, has set a new milestone in the pricing of Chinese CAR-T therapy, priced at 999,000 RMB per dose (less than 140,000 USD).

The year 2021 marked the beginning of cellular immunotherapy in China, with CAR-T therapy leading the way as one of the future development directions. CAR-T therapy primarily involves modifying T cells to recognize specific targets on tumor cells. Theoretically, there could be countless CAR-T therapies targeting different targets, which means endless possibilities.

We hope that in the near future, with the efforts of medical researchers both domestically and internationally, we can reduce the side effects of cell therapy, lower prices, and break through the bottleneck of solid tumors, benefiting more and more late-stage cancer patients!

🎉 Breaking News: Another Milestone for Domestic CAR-T Therapy! Clinical Benefit Rate Reaches 71.4% in CT041 Trials, Challenging Gastric and Pancreatic Cancers with Astonishing Results! 🚀

Gastric Cancer， Pancreatic Cancer

A burgeoning therapeutic target for gastric cancer—Claudin 18.2, its discovery has also opened a new chapter in targeted therapy for gastric cancer. If we talk about the hottest cell immunotherapy in recent years, it has to be chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. Based on this, Chinese researchers have developed the world’s first CAR-T cell therapy targeting Claudin18.2—CT041.

CT041, as the first CAR-T cell therapy targeting Claudin18.2, made its debut at the 2019 ASCO Annual Meeting. Among 12 patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma (7 gastric cancer, 5 pancreatic cancer) treated with Claudin18.2-targeting CAR T-cell therapy, no severe adverse events, treatment-related deaths, or serious neurotoxicity were reported. Among the 11 evaluated patients: 1 (gastric adenocarcinoma) achieved complete remission; 3 (2 gastric adenocarcinoma, 1 pancreatic adenocarcinoma) achieved partial remission; 5 had stable disease; and 2 experienced disease progression. The overall objective response rate was 33.3%.

At the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO GI) held on January 19, 2024, SciGen showcased a clinical study of Claudin18.2-targeting autologous CAR-T cell therapy CT041 (satri-cel), reporting results from the dose escalation phase of the ELIMYN18.2 1b clinical trial conducted in the United States for the treatment of gastric/esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (GC/GEJ) or pancreatic cancer (PC).

This single-arm, open-label phase 1b/2 study primarily evaluated the safety and efficacy of CT041 in patients with advanced Claudin18.2-positive gastric/esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (GC/GEJ, progressing after at least second-line treatment or intolerant) or pancreatic cancer (PC, progressing after at least first-line treatment or intolerant).

Nineteen patients (9 GC/GEJ patients, 12 PC patients) received CT041 treatment at doses ranging from 250 to 600×106 cells: dose 1: 250-300×106 (n=6), dose 2: 375-400×106 (n=6), dose 3: 600×106 (n=7). All patients had received systemic therapy, with 85.7% of GC/GEJ patients and 58.3% of PC patients receiving ≥3 lines of systemic therapy. The median number of metastatic organs for all patients was 2, with at least one prior infusion. Clinical benefit rate included complete remission [CR], partial remission [PR], and stable disease [SD] ≥180 days.

As of September 15, 2023, with a median follow-up of 8.9 months, across all dose groups, the confirmed objective response rate (ORR) for gastric/esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma patients was 42.9% (3/7); clinical benefit rate (CBR) was 57.1% (4/7); median progression-free survival (mPFS) and median duration of response (mDOR) were 5.7 months and 6.9 months, respectively. Additionally, the median overall survival (mOS) for gastric/esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma or pancreatic cancer patients was 8.9 months. In dose level 3 (DL3), one gastric/esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma patient achieved complete remission (CR). The clinical benefit rate for gastric/esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma or pancreatic cancer patients was 71.4% (5/7), with a median OS of 12.9 months.

In summary, #CT041, as the first autologous #Claudin182 CAR-T cell therapy, demonstrates encouraging safety and shows promising preliminary efficacy in Claudin18.2-positive advanced GC/GEJ and PC patients who have received multiple prior treatments.

Miracle Unfolds: Zhejiang University Hospital’s Custom CRISPR/Cas9 Gene Editing + CAR-T Cell Therapy Rebirths Patients

🌟 Miracle Unfolds: Zhejiang University Hospital’s Custom CRISPR/Cas9 Gene Editing + CAR-T Cell Therapy Rebirths Patients 🌟

👨‍👧‍👦 (“I want to live to see my child go to university!”)👨‍👧‍👦

CAR-T Cell Therapy Patient

🎓 This heartfelt cry came from Mr. Sun, a 40-year-old patient from Guangzhou, who faced the formidable challenge of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, a common adult lymphoma type.

🔬14 rounds of chemotherapy, 20 rounds of radiotherapy, total gastrectomy… For two years,

Mr. Sun sought treatment nationwide, endured endless suffering, yet couldn’t defeat the chameleon of the tumor world – diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

“It’s tough. Prepare yourself mentally.” “I want to live to see my child go to university.”

🍋Seeking a glimmer of hope, he turned to Zhejiang University Hospital in Hangzhou. This time, the doctors said, “Let’s give it a try together.”

Multiple abdominal lymphoma lesions invading the intestinal wall, multiple rounds of chemo couldn’t stop the lymphoma from spreading everywhere. Intestinal wall invasion by lymphoma is a relative contraindication for CAR-T therapy, as it can lead to intestinal perforation, so he was no longer suitable for traditional CAR-T cell therapy.

🌿Prof. Liu Mingyao’s team and Prof. Huang He’s team used the Nobel Prize-winning CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to precisely knock out the PD1 site in T lymphocytes and insert the targeted CD19 CAR molecule for tumor cells, creating a brand-new non-viral targeted integrated CAR-T cell (PD1-19bbz), and successfully completed Phase I clinical trials in humans for the first time, verifying the safety and efficacy of the new CAR-T cells.

💪The brand-new PD1-19bbz CAR-T cells, with a low risk of cytokine storms and other complications, gave Mr. Sun a new lease on life.

👑Mr. Sun received PD1-19bbz CAR-T cell infusion and returned. Fourteen days after CAR-T cell return, all indicators were normal. After evaluation, he was discharged. One month after the return, PET-CT evaluation showed that the large mass of tumor invading the intestinal mucosa in the original abdominal cavity had completely disappeared.

🏸Today, Mr. Sun has been disease-free for over 2 years.

In a recent follow-up, all of Sun’s examination results were normal, his weight had increased significantly compared to before his illness, and his complexion looked much healthier. “After cell therapy, my body suddenly felt normal again. My friends and family all say I’ve miraculously recovered. Now in my spare time, I even play badminton, completely restoring my pre-illness lifestyle.”

Tsinghua University

🎨Two years later, in the summer of 2022, Mr. Sun shared good news with the medical staff in Hangzhou: his child has been accepted to the School of Arts at Tsinghua University!

🎉To assess whether the condition is suitable for CAR-T therapy, you can submit Advanced Medicine in China for preliminary evaluation!

Innovative Breakthrough: Chinese Team Creates Novel CAR-T Cells Using CRISPR/Cas9 Technology

🔬 Innovative Breakthrough: Chinese Team Creates Novel CAR-T Cells Using CRISPR/Cas9 Technology 🔬

Nature

The clinical research achievements conducted by Professor Huang He’s team from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine have been published online in the top international journal Nature under the title “Non-viral, specifically targeted CAR-T cells achieve high safety and efficacy in B-NHL.”

In the field of CAR-T cells, we face numerous challenges. However, the collaboration between Professor Liu Mingyao’s team and Director Huang He’s team has introduced the innovative CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology into CAR-T therapy, bringing us unprecedented breakthroughs. They precisely utilized CRISPR/Cas9 technology to remove the “brake” PD1 from T lymphocytes and inserted the targeted CD19 CAR molecule for tumor cells, creating a brand-new non-viral targeted integration CAR-T cell (PD1-19bbz).

💡 Analyzing the Scientific Principles behind the Technology 💡

CRISPR/Cas9 can be likened to a “gene editing scissors,” with PD1 being the “brake” on T cells. By precisely removing the PD1 locus with the “scissors” and inserting the “GPS navigation system” CD19 CAR molecule at the same position, we successfully eliminated the “brake” of CAR-T cells, turning them into efficient killers targeting tumors.

🧬 Groundbreaking Clinical Validation 🧬

Through rigorous clinical studies, we have confirmed the safety and efficacy of PD1-19bbz. Whether in tumor cells with high or low PD-L1 expression, PD1-19bbz has demonstrated more powerful and durable killing effects. What’s more exciting is that our research indicates PD1-19bbz achieves a 100% objective response rate and an 87.5% complete response rate in treating refractory relapsed lymphoma patients.

🌟 Pioneering a New Era in CAR-T Cell Therapy 🌟

This groundbreaking achievement brings new hope to CAR-T cell therapy. We have successfully established a brand-new CAR-T cell technology platform, providing a safer and more effective option for the treatment of refractory relapsed lymphoma and other diseases. This also signifies the leading position of Chinese scholars in the field of CAR-T cell research and development internationally.

💬 Expert Evaluation 💬

Professor Justin Eyquem from the University of California and Senior Editor Victoria Aranda from Nature highly praised our achievements: “This inspiring result demonstrates the excellent clinical safety and efficacy of this CAR-T therapy.”

We will continue to dedicate ourselves to advancing CAR-T cell therapy, bringing hope and health to more patients. Stay tuned for our progress!
