Dr. Margolis said this clinical trial demonstrates the strength of collaboration among MCW, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Froedtert Hospital and the entire community. A separate pediatric clinical trial for CAR-T treatment is planned for later this year at Children's Hospital in the MACC Fund Center.

Dr. Bryon Johnson explained the CAR-T cell immunotherapy as "a search-and-destroy mission," in which the patient’s existing immune cells are modified to attack cancer cells.

CART6_Hari
Dr. Hari said the promising results of this clinical trial indicate a giant leap forward in personalized medicine. "Very few cancer centers anywhere offer the combination of resources and this high level of personalized medicine expertise," he said. "The encouraging results of the CAR-T cell trial positions us and our partners as a leader in clinical cancer care, and paves the way for more effective and efficient treatment options for patients."

CAR-T Lymphocyte Propagation Laboratory

 

Fenlu Zhu, PhD, professor of medicine in the Division of Hematology and Oncology and assistant director of the Lymphocyte Propagation Laboratory, and Bryon Johnson, PhD, professor of pediatrics in the division of Hematology and Oncology, explain how the CliniMACS Prodigy® device enables the cancer team to conduct the CAR-T cell immunotherapy through a contained, cell-filtering desktop system. The device collects the patient’s own T cells and augments them with cancer-fighting genes, producing new cells ready to be infused back into the bloodstream within 14 days. The entire process is performed in a laboratory on the Froedtert & MCW academic medical center campus, saving precious time for the patient.

 

MCW Historical Look Back
