What about leukemias?

[WhatsTheBigIdea]

A good friend of mine was cured (knock on wood) of leukemia by CAR-T. She was one of the first people to get it during a clinical trial. She'd been through all the regular chemo, bone marrow transplant, etc as well as 3 other (failed) experimental treatments and was nearly beyond hope. It seems pretty certain that CAR-T saved her life. I went hiking with her not too long ago. Pretty amazing.

That's awesome to hear! Love hearing good news like this

B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (B-ALL) was the first application of CAR-T.

That's what cd19 car t was already developed and FDA approved for

Anecdotal, but a former co-worker’s young daughter was just completely cleared of leukemia after several years of treatments that didn’t work followed by CAR-T
