Clinical Trial Update - Meganuclease-Edited CAR T-Cell Therapies

This week’s update looks at a Phase 1 clinical trial for a new meganuclease-edited CAR T-cell therapy. The latest trial is sponsored by Precision BioSciences (US) and it will evaluate the safety and efficacy of PBCAR19B, a gene-edited allogeneic (donor-derived) anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy for relapsed or refractory Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
