Novel or significantly improved treatment

Breaking the relapse barrier: innovative approaches to improve CAR T-cell efficacy by targeting leukemic stem cells (LSCs) and measurable residual disease (MRD) in acute myeloid leukemia.

Novel CAR-T approaches targeting leukemia stem cells offer a path to reduce relapse—the biggest hurdle today.

Review of innovative CAR-T strategies specifically targeting leukemic stem cells (LSCs) and measurable residual disease (MRD) to overcome the major cause of relapse after CAR-T therapy in AML. This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.
