Strategies for having a more effective and less toxic CAR T-cell therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.


ABSTRACT: In the recent years, using genetically modified T cells has been known as a rapid developing therapeutic approach due to the heartwarming results of clinical trials with patients suffering from relapsed or refractory (R/R) hematologic malignancies such as R/R Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (R/R ALL). One of these renowned approaches is Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). CARs are synthetic receptors with the ability to be expressed on the surface of T lymphocytes and are specifically designed to target a tumor-associated antigen (TAA) of interest. CAR-expressing T cells have the capability of proliferating and maintaining their immunological functionality in the recipient body but like any other therapeutic approach, the safety, effectiveness, and specificity enhancement of CAR T cells still lingers in the ambiguity arena. Genetic manipulation methods, expansion protocols, infusion dosage, and conditioning regimens are all among crucial factors which can affect the efficacy of CAR T cell-based cancer therapy. In this article, we discuss the studies that have focused on various aspects that affect the efficacy and persistence of CAR T-cell therapy for ALL treatment and provide a widespread overview regarding the practical approaches capable of elevating the effectiveness and lessening the relative toxicities attributed to it.
