CAR T-Cell Protocol Led to High Response Rates in NHL

Very good response rates, including high complete response (CR) rates, were reported in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who were treated with a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell protocol that included several features designed to maximize immunotherapeutic effects while minimizing toxicity.
