In an announcement on the news, Akadeum said the treatment’s success could have important implications for cancer research, as it shows LEAH Labs can engineer and track human CAR-T cells in vivo.
For the treatment, Lou, a 10-year-old Beagle, and Sadie, an 8-year-old Collie/Pyrenees mix received infusion with CAR-T cells isolated with Akadem’s kit.
