ABSTRACT
Allogeneic stem cell transplant (ASCT) remains the only treatment option for patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Recurrence of leukemic cells after ASCT represents a dramatic event associated with a dismal outcome, with a 2-year survival rate of around 20%. Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) is a form of cell-based strategy that has emerged as an effective therapy to treat and prevent post-ASCT recurrence. Lymphocytes are the principal cells used in this therapy and can be derived from a hematopoietic stem cell donor, the patient themselves, or healthy donors, after being engineered to express the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T and UniCAR-T). In this review, we discuss recent advances in the established strategy of donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) and the progress and challenges of CAR-T cells.
