Woman with three deadly diseases has ‘remarkable’ recovery after cell therapy
SMRTR summary
A 47-year-old woman with three life-threatening autoimmune diseases achieved remarkable recovery after receiving CAR T-cell therapy at University Hospital Erlangen in Germany. After nine failed treatments and requiring daily blood transfusions, doctors engineered her immune cells to destroy the rogue B-cells causing her conditions. Within weeks, all three diseases responded, and she has remained treatment-free for 14 months, marking a world first that suggests the therapy successfully reset her immune system.
