In the field of cancer treatment, China’s medical advancements have brought new therapeutic opportunities for patients, especially with CAR-T cell therapy. Although CAR-T has achieved significant success in treating lymphoid tumors, its application in myeloid malignancies, particularly acute myeloid leukemia (AML), has been challenging. However, a recent successful case of CD33 CAR-T therapy in China has ignited hope for patients with refractory relapsed AML.

#### Patient Story

The patient is a 25-year-old Chinese male who initially sought medical attention due to dizziness and fatigue. He was eventually diagnosed with high-risk AML associated with the DEK::CAN fusion gene, which has a very poor prognosis. Despite some initial effectiveness of chemotherapy and undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT), the disease relapsed six months later.

After multiple attempts with targeted therapies and donor cell infusions, the results remained unsatisfactory. Just when traditional treatments seemed ineffective and hope was dwindling, the patient sought out my Advanced Medicine in China team.

#### Breakthrough Treatment: China’s CD33 CAR-T

The patient received a consultation and treatment from the medical experts of my Advanced Medicine in China team. After admission and initial preparations, he underwent CD33 CAR-T therapy, an innovative treatment specifically targeting myeloid tumors. After three days of chemotherapy conditioning, the CAR-T cells were infused on day 11. Although there was a mild fever during this period, the patient experienced no significant discomfort. Subsequently, the bone marrow examination revealed astonishing news: leukemia cells had completely disappeared, and the DEK::CAN fusion gene was nearly undetectable, indicating that the disease was in a state of complete remission.

Despite experiencing a lung infection during treatment, the patient’s condition improved after antibiotic therapy. He did not suffer from severe side effects such as persistent cytopenia, and his blood parameters returned to normal. He was ultimately discharged smoothly.

#### Sustained Remission and a Bright Future

Two months after receiving CD33 CAR-T cell therapy, the patient remains in a state of complete molecular remission, with normal blood counts and a significant improvement in quality of life. This case demonstrates that CAR-T therapy not only successfully controlled refractory relapsed AML but also significantly enhanced the patient’s chances of survival and quality of life.

#### A New Chapter for CAR-T Treatment of AML in China

This case highlights China’s innovative capabilities in the field of CAR-T therapy, particularly in the treatment of myeloid malignancies. For AML patients like this young man who have faced multiple treatment failures, China’s CAR-T therapy undoubtedly brings new hope.

Although global CAR-T therapies for myeloid malignancies are still in their infancy, this groundbreaking advancement in China indicates that CAR-T therapy is poised to become a crucial method for treating refractory relapsed AML in the future. As research deepens and technologies mature, this therapy may save more patients in dire circumstances.

China’s leading position in CAR-T treatment is bringing new hope to patients worldwide. For all AML patients, this story proves that the path to a brighter future has been paved, and for many, it begins with China’s CAR-T therapy.

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!
