Introduction

Saurabh Dahiya, MD, FACP, of Stanford Medicine, and Jay Spiegel, MD, of the University of Miami, join The HemOnc Pulse for the second half of a two-part series on reports regarding secondary T-cell malignancies in patients after being treated with a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and updates from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the issue.

Drs. Dahiya and Spiegel return to the show shortly following the announcement that the FDA sent requests to drug manufacturers on January 9 to update prescription labels with "Black Box" warnings on the six CAR-T therapies used to treat blood cancers.

Part one of the series covers the FDA's initial report in November 2023 and why it set off a "firestorm" in the hematology-oncology community.
