Gene Modified T Cell Therapies for Hematological Malignancies




This article focuses on clinical applications of T cells transduced to express recombinant T cell receptor and chimeric antigen receptor constructs directed toward hematological malignancies, and considers newer strategies incorporating gene-editing technologies to address GvHD and host-mediated rejection. Recent data from clinical trials are reviewed, and an overview is provided of current and emerging manufacturing processes; consideration is also given to new developments in the pipeline.


Key points








  • T cells engineered with chimeric antigen receptors mediate high levels of leukemic remission.



  • Emerging gene editing techniques are now being incorporated.



  • Challenges for dissemination to a larger number of patients are being addressed.
