Journal: Targeting cIAP2 in a novel senolytic strategy prevents glioblastoma recurrence after radiotherapy. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 9, 2025 Finally, using both PDX and immunocompetent mouse models of GBM, we show that the SMAC mimetic birinapant, administered as an adjuvant after radiotherapy, can eliminate senescent GBM cells and prevent the emergence of recurrent tumors. Taken together, our results clearly indicate that significant improvement in GBM patient survival may become possible in the clinic by eliminating senescent cells arising after radiotherapy.

Journal, Real-world evidence: Real World Outcomes for Young Adult Patients Receiving CD19 CAR T-cell Therapy. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 24, 2025 In multivariate analysis, low disease burden was associated with improved OS (HR 0.23, 95% CI 0.06-0.86, p=0.03), while inotuzumab pre-CAR T was associated with inferior outcomes (OS HR 6.32, 95% CI 1.48-27, p=0.01; RFS HR 3.65, 95% CI 1.41-9.46, p=0.008). This study demonstrates comparable real-world efficacy among young adults receiving CD19 CAR T therapy irrespective of CAR T construct, however, rates of toxicity appear higher with brexu-cel.

Journal, IO biomarker: The costimulatory domain influences CD19 CAR-T cell resistance development in B-cell malignancies. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 17, 2025 These findings offer mechanistic insight into the observed clinical differences between axi-cel (CD28-based) and tisa-cel (4-1BB-based)-treated B-cell lymphoma patients and advance our understanding on CAR-T resistance. Furthermore, we underscore the need for specific FMC63 epitope detection to deliver information on antigen levels accessible for CD19-CAR-T-cells.

Journal: Outcomes Among Adult Recipients of CAR T-cell Therapy for Burkitt Lymphoma. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 12, 2025 In conclusion, CD19 CAR T-cell therapy infrequently delivers long term disease control in BL. Further investigation is needed to determine the most effective alternative management of these patients.

A total of 345 B-ALL patients (173 adults and 172 paediatrics) received therapy with Kymriah (65%), ARI-0001 (26%), Tecartus (5.5%), and others (3.5%), with a reverse Kaplan-Meier median follow-up of 2.2 years...Notably, this association was lost in alloHCT-exposed patients, with no impact for prior blinatumomab exposure and response. Prior inotuzumab refractoriness was strongly associated with worse 2-year OS and LFS for both alloHCT-na
