Early results for City of Hope CAR-T

[Javelin18]

Dr Dorff presented early data for the first 12 CAR-T trial patients at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting this weekend. For those of you interested in wading through the data, here's the link to the abstract

The short version is that early results are promising, and modifications to the procedure allows them to control cystitis snd Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS).

Have you started it? How well have you tolerated it?

[Javelin18 in reply to Tall_Allen]

Just starting the initial screening. Infusion of CAR-T cells will be months from now.

Thanks again for doing this trial and letting us know how it goes.Since its in the max dose phase things must be moving along.

"infusion of CAR-T months from now".

I hope you are ok in the time being? You have had tx setbacks/progression although I think you finally have had some pain relief.

Hang in there for now.

Thanks, I'm getting cabazitaxel while waiting for the process to play out. That should hold it at bay, and hopefully reduce the cancer load.

It takes months to grow the modified cells, so I need to stay healthy while that goes on.

Best wishes for the success of this trial/treatment for you, Javelin! And many thanks in advance for keeping us posted! Ive been interested in the CAR-T since I first read about it. It seems to have significant potential.
