Fludarabine Dose Intensity, Lymphodepletion Biology, and Product-Specific Outcomes in Large B-Cell Lymphoma CAR-T Therapy: Interpreting the 2026 EBMT Registry Analysis

A large EBMT registry study suggests that escalating fludarabine during lymphodepletion does not improve tisagenlecleucel outcomes in LBCL and may worsen survival, while axicabtagene ciloleucel retains superior efficacy at standard dosing but with more neurotoxicity.

IL‑10–Armored anti‑CD19 CAR T Cells for R/R B‑ALL: Promising Phase 1 Safety Signals and a New Strategy to Tame Inflammatory Toxicity

A phase 1, single‑arm study evaluated IL‑10–expressing anti‑CD19 CAR T cells in relapsed/refractory B‑ALL, reporting feasibility and encouraging safety signals suggesting attenuated inflammatory toxicity while preserving anti‑leukemic activity. Larger controlled studies are needed to confirm benefit and infectious risk.
