ABSTRACT
While there is intense interest in the production of allogeneic CAR-T cells from umbilical cord units, little is known about the reactivity and persistence of CAR-T cells of umbilical origin. We report the case of a patient at our hematological center with multiple relapsing Ph+ B-ALL, notably a Blinatunomab non-responder, who underwent therapy with Brexucabtagene Autoleucel following relapse on Ponatinib post-allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The patient achieved a rapid CAR-T expansion and durable remission presenting in good clinical conditions 6 months post-CAR-T infusion, without manifestations of graft-versus-host disease. The case report provides insight into the reactivity and persistence of CAR-T cells of umbilical origin, confirming the potential promise of allogeneic umbilical cord-derived CAR-T cells.
