Hello @myfablife - I was diagnosed with AML a few months ago. It is my understanding that Car T is not a treatment option for this disease.
From my understanding, Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have been approved for the treatment of B-cell malignancies and multiple myeloma, but it’s very challenging to treat myeloid malignancies with this type of therapy. Research on CAR T-cell therapy is progressing rapidly to improve cancer treatment and expand its use to more cancers. So hope may be on the horizon but not quite available yet.
I know you’re desperately trying to find options to treat your AML since the bone marrow transplant isn’t a viable option for you due to your liver transplant and CKD. Those conditions can be further complicated by the rigors of transplant, and vice versa. What medications are you currently taking to keep the AML under control?
