• 30 Jan 2020
Valentín Ortiz-Maldonado, MD, Hospital Clinic, Barcelona, Spain, discusses the safety of ARI-0001 cells, an academic CD19 CAR T-cell, in patients with CD19+ leukemia or lymphoma refractory to therapy. The clinical trial (NCT03144583) protocol had to be changed due to toxicities, such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Dr Ortiz-Maldonado explains how splitting the doses of ARI-cells reduced patients’ admission in the ICU. This interview took place at the 2nd European CAR T-Cell Meeting in Sitges, Spain.
