A Revolutionary Leukaemia Treatment Left 90% Of Patients In Complete Remission Empty A Revolutionary Leukaemia Treatment Left 90% Of Patients In Complete Remission

A revolutionary leukaemia treatment could soon be approved for use in the USA after clinical trials saw complete remission in 90% of patients with a type of aggressive blood cancer. The gene therapy ‘CTL019’ has produced unprecedented results, and was regarded as such a success that it was extended to include a larger pool of patients than originally planned. It is now awaiting the thumbs up from Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials in America, who could green light the treatment for September, making it the first gene therapy permitted for use in the country.
