TP53 Alterations Emerge as Critical Adverse Prognostic Factor in Pediatric and Young Adult Patients Treated with CD19-CAR T-Cell Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory B-ALL

A single-center retrospective study of 69 pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia reveals that TP53 alterations significantly compromise outcomes following tisagenlecleucel therapy. Patients harboring TP53 mutations or deletions demonstrated markedly lower remission rates and substantially worse event-free and overall survival compared to TP53 wild-type counterparts.

New EHR-Based Model PRIME Achieves 0.75 AUC in Predicting Pancreatic Cancer Risk Across 11 Million Patients

Researchers developed PRIME, a parsimonious risk stratification model for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma using electronic health record data. Validated across US health systems and the UK Biobank, PRIME retained 19 predictors and achieved strong discrimination, enabling targeted early detection in high-risk populations.
