Speaking from the American Society of Hematology (ASH) 2017 Annual Meeting and Exposition in Atlanta, GA.

Dr. Tam discusses the current limitation of the collection of high quality originator T-cells from patients in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). He refers to the results of a study investigating whether ibrutinib pre-treatment could improve the production process and outcomes.

Dr. Tam also gives his predictions on the future of CAR T-cell therapy for CLL, including whether it could replace autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
