“A patient with three different autoimmune diseases has entered complete
remission after undergoing an experimental treatment that effectively reset her
immune system.
The 47-year-old woman in Germany previously required daily blood transfusions
to manage her conditions, two of which affected her blood cells.
She was given Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR-) T cell therapy, which involves
extracting a sample of immune cells, 'supercharging' them against a specific
target, and returning them to the body.
Within weeks of treatment, the patient's symptoms improved, and she no longer
requires blood transfusions, even almost a year after the therapy.
"The treatment was extremely efficient in getting rid of all three autoimmune
conditions at once," says Fabian Müller, hematologist at the University
Hospital of Erlangen in Germany.
"After being sick for more than a decade, the patient is now in treatment-free
remission and able to return to an almost normal life. This therapy
significantly improved her quality of life."”
