Dr Stephan Grupp at SITC17

National Harbor, MD – SITC 2017 wouldn’t be the same without an in-interview with Dr Stephan Grupp (CHOP) on the issues surrounding the Juno ROCKET trial and CAR T cell therapy safety.

This data has been eagerly awaited and anticipated by the field since the news of a cluster of lethal cerebral oedemas hit Juno in the summer 2016, seemingly out of the blue.

Yesterday, we reviewed the salient points from Dr Mark Gilbert (CMO) presentation highlighting their findings from the in-depth analyses performed to date.

In the second part we turn to a CAR T cell therapist with experience in treating children and young adults for his perspectives and candid reactions to the information presented.

We also talk about where the field is headed and some of the new developments we can look forward to hearing more about in the near to medium term future.

Interestingly, ASH is always a popular meeting for attendees and readers alike, so it is good to see another batch of critical questions come in so soon after the last one. It’s a while since we did two BSB reader Q&A mailbags from a single meeting!

Not surprisingly, there were also a bunch of questions on CAR T cell therapies, which continue to dominate readers minds, as well as related issues. Here, we answer the most pressing questions that have come in over the last week.
