Congratulations to the @PericaKarlo lab! They identified why cilta-cel is superior to ide-cel, and it is not the binding but the promoter used (EF1Ξ± > MND). I think this is why toxicity may be higher.

CARTs can be like a double-edged sword! The more active the CART (expansive & cytotoxic), the higher the risk of delayed neurotoxicity.

Now online @NatureComms, our manuscript describing why the myeloma CAR T cell cilta-cel is more effective than a very similar CAR, ide-cel.

Led by the very talented Kevin Herrera and Sneha Mitra, and in collaboration with the Leslie Laboratory.
