Prolonged remission using CD19 chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy
followed by haploidentical transplantation in a 5-month-old patient with
infantile acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Abstract
Tisagenlecleucel offers promise to children with relapsed/refractory
(r/r) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, there is limited
experience with and data supporting the use of tisagenlecleucel in
infants. We describe our successful experience using tisagenlecleucel
followed by a haploidentical donor hematopoietic stem cell
transplantation in an infant with r/r KMT2A-rearranged ALL, the youngest
infant to survive and achieve prolonged remission using this approach.
