A pioneering immunotherapy approach to treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most common form of leukemia in adults, has shown long-term beneficial effects in a clinical trial with patients whose disease was not controlled by other therapies, according to a paper published in
Science Translational Medicine. Carl H. June, MD, director of the Translational Research Program at Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania and a member of the Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), was leader of the clinical trial team.
