Tandem Meetings 2023 | Preliminary results from Phase I study of CD123 CAR-T therapy in pediatric R/R AML

In this video, Swati Naik, MBBS, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN, discusses the rationale and preliminary results from a Phase I study evaluating the safety and feasibility of CD123-targeting CAR-Ts in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML; NCT04318678). Dr Naik first explains the challenges associated with designing effective CAR-Ts for AML, including the identification of a suitable target, patient heterogeneity, and the aggressive and immunosuppressive nature of the disease. Dr Naik then comments on the results of the study, which showed evidence of expansion and anti-leukemic activity at different dose levels, with no dose-limiting toxicities. This interview took place at the 2023 Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of ASTCT™ and CIBMTR® held in Orlando, FL.
