That’s great it’s helping with some blood cancers. I had a donor stem cell transplant recently after several rounds of Chemo for acute myeloid leukemia. From what I’ve seen so far, this therapy hasn’t found its way to AML patients yet. It’s a tricky thing with AML because it saturates the bone marrow fast - within a month or 2 and without immediate chemo, patients will die in another month. So, it’s tricky to make sure they get it right or the patient won’t survive.
They are probably trying it on chronic Leukemia patients first. They are doing great and have come a long way with treatments with blood cancers. They have me on a daily maintenance chemo trial with targets an aggressive gene, hoping to prevent relaps. The chemo is actually FDA approved for kidney & liver cancer.
Oh it absolutely has : ) Bluebird pharma is carrying out clinical trials for a CAR-T product called BB2121 for AML. And they have got impressive results. You can search Google News or up to date info.
