Abstract:
Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the second most common pediatric leukemia and currently employs the most intensive chemotherapy regimens used in pediatric oncology. Despite this treatment intensity, approximately one half of patients treated in the United States will experience AML relapse and only one third of those patients can be cured with standard salvage therapies. Thus, new therapies for pediatric AML are very much needed. In this presentation, I will provide background on the treatment and outcomes of pediatric AML in the United States, describe our ongoing work to identify novel immunotherapy targets for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy, and review data from the CD123 CAR trial currently open at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Vljudno vabljeni. Predavanje bo potekalo v angleškem jeziku.
