Our Stem Cell Transplant and Cellular Immunotherapy program is the only authorized center in the Washington, D.C., region to offer CAR T-cell therapy for adults with refractory or relapsed B-cell lymphomas and leukemias. Learn more: bit.ly/3rKCOfH
ALT CAR T-cell therapy: how it works. Step 1 - Blood is drawn from the patient and T-cells are separated out. Step 2 - T-cells are genetically altered to have chimeric antigen receptors (CAR), designed to activate the cells. Step 3 - Over 3 to 4 weeks, the CAR T-cells multiply, creating millions of supercharged immune cells. Step 4 - To prepare for treatment, the patient receives a low dose of outpatient chemotherapy. Step 5 - Patient is admitted to the hospital. CAR-T cells are infused into the patient's blood. Step 6 - Patient remains in the hospital 7 to 14 days to monitor possible side-effects.
