Abstract
- The treatment landscape for hematologic malignancies has changed since the recent approval of highly effective chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies (CAR-T). Moreover, more than 600 active trials are currently ongoing. However, early enthusiasm should be tempered since several issues are still unsolved and represent the challenges for the coming years. The lack of initial responses and early relapse are some hurdles to be tackled. Moreover, new strategies are needed to increase the safety profile or shorten the manufacturing process during CAR-T cells therapy production. Nowadays, most clinically evaluated CAR-T cells products are derived from autologous immune cells. The use of allogeneic CAR-T cells products generated using cells from healthy donors has the potential to change the scenario and overcome many of these limitations. In addition, CAR-T cells carry a high price tag, and there is an urgent need to understand how to pay for these therapies as many of today's current payment systems do not feature the functionality to address the reimbursement gap. Finally, the clinical experience with CAR-T cells for solid tumors has been less encouraging, and development in this setting is desirable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
