We can only begin to say that a cancer treatment is transformational when these therapies benefit everyone who comes to us for care.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>People who identify as Black and Hispanic often have tumor biology, immune system biology, and side effects that are distinct from white people. However, very few minorities were enrolled in the major trials that led the FDA to approve CAR-T cell therapy.<\/p>\n<p><b>Parity for Black and Hispanic Patients<br \/><\/b>The new <i>BMT<\/i> study evaluated outcomes for 46 participants treated at Montefiore between 2015 and 2021. Seventeen of the participants were Hispanic, 9 were African American, 15 were white, and 5 were Asian.<\/p>\n<p>Among Black and Hispanic patients, 58% achieved a complete response after treatment and 19% achieved a partial response. For white and Asian patients, 70% achieved a complete response and 20% had a partial response, indicating no statistical differences among racial and ethnic backgrounds. Results were similar with respect to major side effects experienced: Approximately 95% of participants in each group had mild to moderate cytokine release syndrome, a common side effect to immunotherapy in which people experience fever and other flu-like symptoms.<\/p>\n<p><b>Diversifying Cancer Clinical Trials<br \/><\/b>&#8220;Our findings demonstrate that we are able to effectively treat people from historically marginalized groups using CAR-T; our hope is that more people from a diverse range of racial and ethnic backgrounds will be included in clinical trials,&#8221; said co-author <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3519583-1&amp;h=1850115240&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.einsteinmed.edu%2Ffaculty%2F10065%2Famit-verma%2F&amp;a=Amit+Verma%2C+M.B.B.S.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"xn-person\">Amit Verma<\/span>, M.B.B.S.<\/a>, associate director of translational science at MECC, director of the division of hemato-oncology at Montefiore and Einstein, and professor of medicine and of <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3519583-1&amp;h=4204210481&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.einsteinmed.edu%2Fdepartments%2Fdevelopmental-molecular-biology%2F&amp;a=developmental+and+molecular+biology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">developmental and molecular biology<\/a>\u00a0at Einstein. <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3519583-1&amp;h=1277041081&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.einsteinmed.edu%2Ffaculty%2F9917%2Fira-braunschweig%2F&amp;a=Ira+Braunschweig%2C+M.D.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ira Braunschweig, M.D.<\/a>, associate professor of medicine at Einstein and director of Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapy and clinical program director, Hematologic Malignancies at Montefiore, is also co-corresponding author on the study.<\/p>\n<p>At Montefiore, approximately 80% of clinical trial participants are minorities, <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3519583-1&amp;h=2810799943&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.montefiore.org%2Fbody.cfm%3Fid%3D3132%26action%3Ddetail%26ref%3D1667%26iirf_redirect%3D1&amp;a=compared\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">compared<\/a>\u00a0with the nationwide figure of only 8%.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As an academic medical center, it is not enough to make novel therapies like CAR-T available,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Susan Green-Lorenzen<\/span>, R.N.
