July 24, 2016

It sounds like something out of a science fiction novel. The body re-engineered to recognise and attack cancer, so that doctors do not have to battle the disease with conventional medicine.

Juno Therapeutics, a Seattle-based biotech group developing several Car-T products, revealed two weeks ago that three patients on one of its trials had died from swelling on the brain related to the toxic side-effects of the therapy. The US Food and Drug Administration temporarily suspended the study, codenamed Rocket, but allowed the company to restart the trial and enrol new participants a few days later. It is not uncommon for patients to die on cancer trials. The participants tend to be very sick, and such studies provide statistical evidence that a new drug or treatment can keep them alive for longer than the next best option. Yet in Juno's case, the patients, all of whom were aged under 25, died not from their illness but from the treatment itself - the cure was worse than the disease.
