    A clinical trial led by CCR physician-scientists found that long-term survival for children, adolescents and young adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) was significantly better for patients who received CD19-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy followed by a stem cell transplant, compared to CAR T-cell therapy alone. The patients were followed…

    In an important advancement for precision oncology, CCR researchers have shown how their tumor analysis pipeline, called SELECT, can identify which therapies may be particularly beneficial for individual patients. When applied to data from over 30 different targeted and immunotherapy clinical trials, SELECT was successfully predictive of patient responses to these therapies in about 80 percent of…
