- 1CAR T cell therapy shows two years free of lupus flares●Two years later, CAR T cell therapy shows promise for life without lupus flares
Researchers at UMass Chan Medical School report that lupus patients treated with CAR T cell therapy have remained free of disease flares two years after receiving the one-time cell-based treatment. The therapy, originally developed for blood cancers, reprograms a patient's own immune cells, and the latest follow-up data suggest it may offer lasting remission in autoimmune disease.
