There are several different companies in the USA pursuing CAR-T treatments in many trials but since the first 3 CLL patient results were reported in 2013 from U Penn, the results in CLL have been underwhelming. CAR-T has proven to be very effective in other Leukemias and Lymphomas especially the acute and difficult to treat variants, but not so much in CLL.
