Overview

Review synthesizes recent studies on CAR-T cell therapy's safety and efficacy in pediatric ALL, suggesting key areas for improvement.

Key Points

  • CAR-T cell therapy achieves complete remission rates up to 100% in pediatric ALL cases, indicating strong treatment efficacy.
  • Safety profiles are manageable with common adverse effects like cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity, warranting careful monitoring.
  • Literature review covering 12 studies from 2014 to 2024 highlights the need for biomarkers for response prediction in pediatric patients.
  • Potential challenges remain in adverse effect management, particularly concerning cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity, signaling need for optimization.
