Stephan Grupp, MD, PhD, discusses updated findings from the phase II ELIANA trial of tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah), a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, in pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia with high disease burden.
Stephan Grupp, MD, PhD, director of translational research for the Center for Childhood Cancer Research at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and medical director of the Stem Cell Laboratory at CHOP, discusses updated findings from the phase II ELIANA trial of tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah), a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, in pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with high disease burden.
