For how we live.
ESO-T01 builds cancer-killing T cells inside the body, skipping the cell harvest and chemo prep normal CAR-T needs. All four responded — but the cells faded, and median progression-free survival was 4 months.
In a 15-patient phase 1 trial, TX103 cells delivered directly into the brain were tolerated and median survival reached 19.1 months — but this is early, single-arm evidence with no control group.
Gene-edited islet cells implanted in a person's forearm are still functioning more than a year later. It is a single case report, and will need many more patients to mean anything.
In a 187-patient trial, chronic graft-versus-host-disease-free survival at one year was 78% with the new therapy versus 38% with conventional transplant. The FDA approved it 30 June.
In two industry-funded phase 3 studies, every child followed at least 16 months met the goal — but all had a grade 3 or 4 event, and one died of a conditioning-drug complication.
