In a retrospective study from 🇫🇮 of allo-HCT recipients, 59% of all and 77% of R+ patients had CMV infection. CMV infection was associated with longer hospital readmission: median 27 vs 14 days - an overall increase in use of hospital resources #CMV#TxID https://t.co/JDUrjtRcDx

Early use of third-party virus-specific T-cells is safe and leads to high rates of viral control and excellent outcomes in HSCT. https://t.co/NPWkBX20Nm #immunobiologyandimmunotherapy
📖 Our multi-centre study:
2 drug vs 3 drug induction in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia
https://t.co/D1Gieq0wVN
✅ No benefit in survival with addition of 3rd drug etoposide (ADE) to dauno and ARAC (3+7)
✅ Similar toxicities
✅ First INPHOG RCT
✅ First RCT on AML from LMIC
KEY POINTS:
▪️ CCR9 is highly expressed in patients with T-ALL, including R/R T-ALL.
▪️ Anti-CCR9 CAR T cells show potent in vitro & in vivo antileukemic activity and resistance to fratricide, suggesting they could be an effective treatment.
