The chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells play an antileukemia role, and can be used to treat or prevent relapse by targeting minimal residual disease for patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
Monthly assessments of CD19+ minimal residual disease (MRD) and CAR-T engraftment demonstrated the anti-CD19 activity of long-term engrafted CAR-T cell clones in one patient for more than 2 years.
BCR signalling inhibitors, BCL2 antagonists, CAR-T cells) and methods to evaluate minimal residual disease constitute good examples of tools facilitating 'personalized' management of patients with CLL.
It explored whether consolidative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) could improve the long-term prognosis of the minimal residual disease-negative complete remission (MRD<sup>-</sup> CR) patients after CAR-T therapy.
