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

By MedXY 04/12/2026

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.
