Using the body's own cells against cancer

"Our aim is to further develop the CAR-T cell therapy for leukemia and other tumors through our research as well as to establish this approach in the treatment of children."

You are here:

New hopes for the treatment of childhood cancer 

CAR-T cells in the clinic – present status

Not every child can be permanently healed with conventional therapy. Relapse of the disease occurs in many patients, who then have a much lower survival rate. In the U.S. it has already been shown that leukemia can be successfully treated with CAR-T cells, even in patients who have relapsed. We are working intensely on applying this therapy at Charité so that we can make it available for our little patients.

Our research is promising!

Our lab results are very promising so far. The photos on the right side show how CAR-T cells (blue) recognize and destroy tumor cells (red) in a short amount of time. The CAR-T cells then proliferate and build a collective ready to attack the tumor cells

Our goal is our motivation!

We strongly believe that the approach we are following, teaching the immune system how to recognize and destroy tumor cells, will bring us closer to our goal.

With your donation, you have the opportunity to gift new hopes to children suffering from cancer and their families.

We are grateful for every donation!
