High Response Rate Seen With Concurrent Ibrutinib Plus CAR T-Cell Therapy in High-Risk CLL
June 26th 2019Significant activity was observed when ibrutinib was administered concurrently with CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy compared with separately in patients with high-risk relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia who had progressed on or were intolerant of ibrutinib. Data presented at the 15th International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma show a high response rate with this concurrent treatment.

High Response Rate Found in CLL With Ibrutinib/CAR T-Cell Combo
December 2nd 2018According to a retrospective phase I/II study, over 80% of patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia responded to concurrent treatment with ibrutinib and the CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor CAR T-cell therapy, JCAR014.<sup>1</sup> Findings from this study were presented at the 60th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting.

Exciting Response Rates Seen in Updates Findings of bb2121 in Multiple Myeloma
December 13th 2017Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy with bb2121 demonstrated an objective response rate of 94% in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, according to findings from a dose-escalation study. The senior study author, James N. Kochenderfer, MD, presented updated findings from the study during the 2017 ASH Annual Meeting, and commented that 89% of patients had a very good partial response or better, and 56% of patients had a complete remission. <br />
