“Patients with relapsed or refractory AML have few treatment options, and novel approaches are urgently needed. Traditional chemotherapy is often unable to drive deep remissions in this setting, and many patients cannot tolerate it,” said Carlos Bachier, M.D., Medical Director of Research and Cellular Therapy, Sarah Cannon Transplant & Cellular Therapy Program at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. “NKX101 following lymphodepletion with fludarabine and Ara-C had encouraging anti-tumor activity in a small number of patients with difficult to treat relapsed/refractory AML. This activity, together with its tolerable safety profile, merits further study of NKX101.”
