Revolutionizing Medicine: CAR-T Therapy Beyond Cancer

🚀Revolutionizing Medicine: CAR-T Therapy Beyond Cancer 🚀

🔬 Over the past decade, CAR-T cell therapy has transformed the field of oncology, successfully treating previously incurable blood cancers. While CAR-T therapy gained fame for its success in cancer treatment, the roots of this groundbreaking principle trace back nearly 30 years—initially exploring T cell therapy for HIV/AIDS. Although the early attempts didn’t succeed in treating HIV/AIDS, they demonstrated the enduring potential of engineered T cells in immunocompromised patients.
 
🌟 CAR-T therapy,  or Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell Immunotherapy, essentially involves reengineering a patient’s immune T cells outside the body to recognize antigens on the surface of tumor cells. These modified cells are then reintroduced into the patient, effectively identifying and eliminating cancer cells. Scientists have been tirelessly working to extend CAR-T therapy beyond blood cancers to various other types.
 
💡 Moreover, research from both clinical and preclinical studies indicates that CAR-T therapy holds great promise beyond cancer treatment. It shows potential applications in autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, heart diseases, aging-related conditions, and more.
 
🌐 In recent years, scientists have focused on applying CAR-T therapy to solid tumors, exploring its potential in cancer types beyond blood-related malignancies. Early research results suggest that the next frontier for CAR-T therapy may extend to various fields outside cancer, including autoimmune diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus, pemphigus vulgaris, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, asthma), fibrotic diseases (fibrosis in the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys), aging-related conditions (liver fibrosis, solid tumors, atherosclerosis, natural aging), and infectious diseases (HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C, pulmonary tuberculosis).
 
🚀 The future of CAR-T therapy holds vast potential in reshaping the landscape of medical treatment, reaching far beyond the realms of cancer. Stay tuned for ground

Lyn’s Triumph Over Lymphoma: A CAR-T Journey in Shanghai

🌈🌈Lyn’s Triumph Over Lymphoma: A CAR-T Journey in Shanghai! 🌟🌟 #CARTVictory

⚡️⚡️Lyn, a mother of three from Singapore, faced unexpected health challenges in 2022. She experienced persistent pain in her shoulders, neck, and upper limbs, disrupting her sleep and even affecting her ability to breathe. A visit to the emergency department at Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital revealed a shocking discovery – a massive tumor in her mediastinum, measuring 15 cm in diameter! The compression from this large mass not only caused excruciating pain but also impacted nearby organs such as the heart, major blood vessels, and lungs, leading to Superior Vena Cava Syndrome (SVCS). Lyn struggled with breathing difficulties, posing an imminent threat to her life.

🌸🌸The diagnosis pointed to “Primary Mediastinal Large B-cell Lymphoma,” a relatively uncommon subtype of lymphoma, prevalent among young individuals, particularly females. Despite undergoing various comprehensive treatments, including chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy and consolidative radiotherapy, Lyn unfortunately showed no response to these treatments. Eventually, the decision was made to pursue CAR-T cell therapy.

🧶🧶Lyn’s husband emphasized, “The cost of CAR-T treatment abroad is significantly higher than in China, and the waiting period is at least 3-6 months. We trust the medical expertise of China and Shanghai Jiahui. Their professionalism and meticulous care left a deep impression on us. Our decision was absolutely correct.”

💥💥 The treatment team at Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital, led by Director Vicky H. Lee and Dr. Lili Zhou, the head of the Hematology and Oncology Department, developed a meticulous treatment plan to navigate Lyn through the entire CAR-T therapy. They highlighted the critical importance of two stages: the period from cell collection to pre-infusion and the phase post-infusion, which poses a risk of Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) and Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS).

🍁🍁 After careful preliminary treatments, infection screening, and confirmation through cell collection, Lyn received the CAR-T cell infusion. Following infusion, the “T-cell soldiers” proliferated successfully in her body, providing relief from tumor-related pain. Upon clinical assessment confirming stable conditions, Lyn smoothly transitioned to being discharged.

⛵️⛵️ It’s worth noting that CAR-T therapy costs comprise drug and non-drug expenses, with the overall treatment expenses significantly lower in China compared to Western countries. Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital collaborates with local high-quality medical resources such as Ruijin Hospital and Tongji Hospital, offering patients a comprehensive one-stop CAR-T diagnostic and therapeutic service.

🥰Chinese CAR-T Therapy: A Beacon of Hope for Lymphoma Patients🥰

🥰Chinese CAR-T Therapy: A Beacon of Hope for Lymphoma Patients🥰

🌞In a groundbreaking development, the Hematology Department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital has achieved remarkable treatment outcomes with commercial CAR-T therapy since 2021.
 
🌞Meet Mr. Li, a 59-year-old with a history of hypertension. In September 2019, he noticed swelling in his right elbow, which worsened over three months, prompting concerns. After visits to multiple hospitals, he was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). Further consultations revealed additional challenges: the presence of TP53 and MYD88 gene mutations, adding complexity to his case.
 
🌞Local hospitals initiated frontline treatments, utilizing drugs such as cyclophosphamide, prednisone, ibrutinib, and rituximab. While the initial treatment provided relief, it was short-lived. After six months of rest, Mr. Li experienced discomfort in his lower abdomen, leading to a subsequent diagnosis of DLBCL metastasis. Despite second, third, and fourth-line treatments at local hospitals, his condition remained uncontrolled.
 
🌞In December 2021, Mr. Li placed his last hope in the hands of the lymphoma team at Peking Union Medical College Hospital and underwent CAR-T therapy.
On December 27, 2021, the patient underwent a successful single-cell collection, followed by CAR-T cell infusion on January 20, 2022. Post-infusion, all indicators returned to normal, with only transient fever and CAR-T-related neutropenia observed. Targeted treatment promptly addressed these symptoms, leading to their resolution. One month after discharge, a complete response (CR) was achieved upon evaluation.
 
🌞Professor Wang Wei, drawing on clinical expertise, emphasized that:
TP53-mutated patients often exhibit limited response to conventional frontline treatments, making CAR-T therapy a potential benefit.
 
🌞For high-risk patients, especially those with dual expression and recurrence within 12 months, CAR-T therapy as a second-line treatment may yield benefits.
Post-CAR-T hematopoietic suppression, while common, requires nuanced management based on various factors. R-CHOP shows safety and efficacy in R/R DLBCL. Post-CAR-T bone marrow suppression is influenced by factors like prior chemotherapy lines, occurrence of CRS/ICANs, necessitating comprehensive clinical assessment and supportive care.
 

🌞In summary, CAR-T therapy presents a promising avenue for patients facing challenging lymphoma scenarios. The successful case of Mr. Li underscores the potential efficacy and safety of this innovative treatment at Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

Two Years of Complete Remission(Lymphoma), CAR-T therapy has given her a new lease on life.

“Two Years of Complete Remission, CAR-T therapy has given her a new lease on life.  She Thought the Journey Was Over”

 

Yun is a 78-year-old patient who achieved a continuous complete remission for two and a half years despite relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Diagnosed in 2019, after enduring six rounds of chemotherapy, she initially achieved complete remission as confirmed by her healthcare team. Unfortunately, the period of remission was short-lived as Yun soon experienced disease relapse, and subsequent second-line treatments failed to yield positive results.

“I vividly remember when Director Wang Li encouraged me, mentioning an advanced method called Car-T, but it was quite expensive. I was hesitant, but I discussed it with my son when I got home. When my son and daughter-in-law heard about it, they insisted on treatment. My son said, ‘Mom, you’re the only mother I have in this world. As long as you’re here, our home is complete. Money can be earned again, and if the treatment isn’t successful, at least we won’t have regrets.’ I was deeply moved. At my age, I’ve already shown strength through previous treatments. I believe that wherever my health takes me is where I belong. Everyone’s support gave me a reason to stay strong again.”

In 2021, CAR-T cell therapy was approved and launched in China, and Yun underwent this treatment at Ruijin Hospital.

Dr. Wang Li, Director of Hematology at Ruijin Hospital, explained, “CAR-T cell therapy provides new treatment options for a wide range of cancer patients.”

“Before planning Yun’s CAR-T cell therapy, lymphoma experts, considering her current tumor status and medical history, anticipated potential adverse reactions during the treatment process and discussed handling protocols. Yun’s entire journey with CAR-T cell therapy was challenging. The medical team meticulously coordinated their efforts, successfully addressing adverse reactions after CAR-T treatment, ultimately averting potential risks.”

Despite lying in her hospital bed, Yun deeply appreciates the relentless dedication of her medical caregivers. “Sometimes, directors come to see me after 10 p.m., telling me they worked late but had to check on me; some arrive by my bedside as early as 7 a.m., concerned about my well-being. I continuously remind myself that I must strive, persist, and live up to the efforts made by doctors and my entire family,” said the 78-year-old Yun . “I made it through.”

New Generation CAR-T Cell Therapy AT101: Phase I Clinical Trial Shows 100% Complete Remission Rate!

New Generation CAR-T Cell Therapy AT101: Phase I Clinical Trial Shows 100% Complete Remission Rate!
Researchers recently released exciting news: the Phase I clinical trial of their newly developed CAR-T cell therapy, AT101, demonstrated a 100% complete remission rate among patients receiving high-dose treatment. This groundbreaking achievement was published in the latest “Molecular Cancer” journal and gained significant attention at the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting.
 
Despite recent FDA investigations into the safety of CAR-T cell therapy, it remains the most promising choice for blood cancer patients who have tried other treatment methods unsuccessfully. CAR-T cell therapy has fundamentally changed the treatment landscape for many blood cancer patients. While some patients show long-term responses to it, others do not.
 
The new CAR-T cell therapy, AT101, developed by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine and the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania, exhibited highly encouraging results due to its design targeting a new epitope of CD19 through a unique binding mechanism. Most currently approved CD19 CAR-T cell therapies target the same epitope, yet many patients eventually relapse. AT101, by targeting a different CD19 epitope, shows faster action rates and aims to reduce the failure rate of CAR-T cell therapy while improving clinical efficacy.
 
In this Phase I clinical trial, 14 patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) received treatment. Nine out of twelve patients achieved a complete remission status, indicating a total remission rate of 91.7%, with eight patients achieving complete remission. These patients did not experience cancer relapse, and the drug showed promising safety results.
 
While further research and larger-scale clinical trials are necessary, these early results instill considerable confidence. The success of AT101 holds promise for bringing new hope to blood cancer patients, especially those who previously did not receive effective CAR-T cell therapy. This study also aims to expand to a broader patient population, offering more treatment options and possibilities.

Breakthrough in CAR-T Therapy Achieved by Chinese Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center

Recently, Professor Huang Huiqiang’s team at Sun Yat-sen University Affiliated Cancer Hospital achieved significant progress in a lymphoma patient who relapsed after five lines of chemotherapy. Utilizing CAR-T therapy, the patient has experienced complete remission for over two years, making them one of the patients in China with the longest survival post-CAR-T treatment.

Lymphoma, one of the common blood cancers, has traditionally been treated using a combination of chemotherapy, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, targeted therapies, and immune-modulating drugs. However, CAR-T cell therapy, an advanced technology in the field of oncology, has emerged as a precise, rapid, and highly effective new treatment method in recent years.

 

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a prevalent aggressive lymphoma characterized by rapid progression, high mortality rates, and short survival periods. Despite significant therapeutic advancements in recent years, approximately 70% of patients achieve good outcomes and long-term remission through first-line treatments, but around 30% of patients have inadequate responses to treatment, facing difficult-to-cure relapses.

Professor Huang Huiqiang emphasized, “CAR-T cell therapy plays a crucial role in providing new treatment hopes for relapsed and refractory patients who cannot undergo transplantation or have previously undergone ineffective treatments.

It is reported that in the future, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center will continue to explore clinical innovative technologies in CAR-T cell therapy, aiming to bring new prospects for numerous patients.
