Obecabtagene autoleucel, a novel CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia: the future for reducing toxicity and T-cell exhaustion? (PubMed, Expert Rev Hematol) - "As real-world experience and longer-term data accrue, obe-cel may emerge not only as a bridge to transplantation but also as a definitive therapy for select patients. The success of this approach may inform future CAR design across hematologic malignancies and support a paradigm shift toward receptor-tuned cellular immunotherapies."

An interview with dr Jean a yared on their experiences as an investigator for obecabtagene autoleucel - by Reegan Burnell (commissioning Editor). (PubMed, Expert Rev Hematol) - "In order to validate the simulation results obtained by bond graph models, an experimental study of the Skystream is compared with the complete simulation of the turbine.The motivation to develop these models in a bond graph approach is to design and build a low-cost wind turbine similar to the Skystream. Thus, the main contributions of this paper are: a bond graph model of the Skystream wind turbine, the PMSG, rectifier and inverter are modelled by multibond graphs."

EFFICACY AND SAFETY OUTCOMES OF OBECABTAGENE AUTOLEUCEL (OBE-CEL) STRATIFIED BY AGE IN PATIENTS WITH RELAPSED/REFRACTORY B-CELL ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA (R/R B-ALL) (EHA 2025) - P1/2 | "A higher proportion of pts aged <55 years were Hispanic/Latino (36.7% vs 18.8%), had extramedullary disease at lymphodepletion (29.1% vs 8.3%), and had received prior blinatumomab (53.2% vs 22.9%), and/or prior inotuzumab ozogamicin (35.4% vs 25.0%) vs those aged ≥55 years... Obe-cel treatment was associated with deep and durable remissions resulting in favorable ORR, EFS, and OS with low incidence of Grade ≥3 CRS and ICANS in both age groups. These findings indicate that obe-cel is effective and has a positive benefit and risk profile regardless of pt age, including in older adults with R/R B-ALL, despite few pts receiving consolidative SCT"

PREDICTING HEMATOTOXICITY RISK AND OUTCOMES IN RELAPSED/REFRACTORY B-CELL ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA (R/R B-ALL): SHOULD HEMATOTOX MODELS BE CAR SPECIFIC RATHER THAN DISEASE SPECIFIC (EHA 2025) - P1/2 | "A higher proportion of CAR-HT low-risk (80.0%) vs high-risk pts (51.0%) received prior blinatumomab or inotuzumab ozogamicin... Although both models show potential, ALL-HT appears to improve risk stratification and may be a better predictor of response, survival and safety outcomes in adult pts with R/R B-ALL treated with obe-cel, than CAR-HT. Taken together with other published reports, our data suggest that the strength of HT-model predictions may be CAR specific. Further analyses are needed."

CAN CAR T-CELL THERAPY BE A DEFINITIVE TREATMENT FOR ADULT R/R B-ALL WITHOUT TRANSPLANT? LONG-TERM FINDINGS AND PREDICTORS OF SUSTAINED REMISSION FOR OBECABTAGENE AUTOLEUCEL (EHA 2025) - P1/2 | "Stepwise variable selection was performed to identify the list of important factors in the final model.Important factors identified from the UVA included: age (3), response status to first and last line of therapy, previous allogeneic SCT and previous inotuzumab ozogamicin prior to leukapheresis... Obe-cel persistence, low disease burden at LD and obe-cel use in earlier lines were independent factors associated with better outcomes and longer survival in adult pts with R/R B-ALL. These data re-enforce that obe-cel persistence is important in achieving long-term survival without additional treatments, suggesting the potential of obe-cel as a definitive treatment."

Obe-cel treatment resulted in favorable ORR and EFS with low Grade ≥3 CRS/ICANS incidence in both age groups. These findings indicate that obe-cel is effective and has a positive benefit/risk profile regardless of age, including in older adults with R/R B-ALL despite few receiving consolidative SCT."

CD-19 CAR-T cell therapy in adult B-cell ALL patients: A systematic review of clinical trials. (ASCO 2025) - "CD19 CAR-T cell therapies, including Obe-cel, KTE-X19, UCART19, and GC007g, have demonstrated efficacy and safety in the treatment of relapsed/refractory (RR) adult B-cell ALL patients. Among these, Obe-cel stands out with a lower incidence of severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), making it a promising therapy for outpatient administration. However, large-scale, randomized, multi-center clinical trials are essential to validate these findings and further refine the role of CD19 CAR-T therapies in this high-risk population."

Autolus Therapeutics Presents Long-Term Follow Up from the FELIX Study Demonstrating Obe-Cel's Potential for Long-Term Remission in R/R B-ALL at the 2025 European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress (The Manila Times) - P1/2 | N=153 | FELIX (NCT04404660) | Sponsor: Autolus Limited | "At the updated median follow up of 32.8 months, 38.4% of responders were in ongoing remission without consolidative SCT or other therapies (versus the previously reported 40% at a median follow up of 21.5 months). The 24-month probability of Event Free Survival was 43%, and for Overall Survival was 46%, with an emerging long-term plateau observed. A substantial subset of patients benefit from standalone treatment with obe-cel, achieving long-term remission. No new safety signals or Grade ≥3 secondary malignancies were observed at the extended follow-up. These results suggest that obe-cel may be a definitive treatment for some patients with r/r B-ALL - specific analysis will be needed to determine which patients may need additional treatments."
