Response to Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T Cells Therapy in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies Depending on Tumor Characteristics

Response to Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T Cells Therapy in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies (Lymphoma, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Multiple Myeloma) Depending on Tumor Characteristics

Immunotherapy with Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cells, T cells whose receptor has been genetically modified, is based on improving the immune response against the tumor. This approach is promising for patients with hematologic malignancies refractory to chemotherapy. Despite impressive results, too many patients are relapsing. The reasons for the relapse, after the injection of CAR T cells, need to be explored. In this context of newly introduced therapeutics, it is essential to better understand the factors associated with the response to treatment with CAR T Cells, especially the characteristics of the tumor and its microenvironment.

The objective of this study is to understand the role of tumor biology, and its microenvironment, in the response to CAR-T Cells therapy in patients with hematologic malignancies
