Importance of Lympho Depletion in CAR-T Cell Cycle

Lympho depletion is a crucial component of the CAR-T cell cycle, preparing the body, immune system, microenvironment, and tumor for the infusion of CAR-T cells. Research highlighted the lack of scientific basis for different regimens used, leading to an emphasis on personalizing doses to balance efficacy and toxicity. Contributions from colleagues like Sloan Kettering in devising pharmacokinetic indexes aim to improve dose accuracy, though challenges persist in predicting actual thresholds for individual patients.
