News: Gene therapy for cancer halted after patient death |
Two trials assessing gene therapy for blood cancer have been put on hold by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), following a patient fatality. The therapy, known as 'off-the-shelf' CAR-T immunotherapy, used genetically modified immune system T cells to target cancer, yet unlike other trials the cells were taken from a healthy donor instead of the patient. It was hoped this therapy would prove easier and less expensive to produce. Read more... |
News: FDA makes the first gene therapy Kymriah available for treatment of pediatric ALL |
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a press release making the first even gene therapy available for treatment of children with a form of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The drug Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel) is the first of its kind that uses gene therapy to treat patients with this condition. The release was updated yesterday identifying the designantions that were granted to Kymriah. Read more... |
Conference: Gene Therapy for Rare Disorders 2017 |
Gene Therapy for Rare Disorders 2017 will focus exclusively on how drug developers can progress gene therapies to market more effectively.
