What the film says

Read the transcript

Hairy cell leukemia is rare and usually gentle; most people respond to a week of chemotherapy and stay well for years. But a variant form shrugs it off, and once targeted drugs fail, survival is a couple of years.

The idea: turn CAR T cells, proven in other B-cell leukemias, on this one.

Hairy cells are brightly coated in a protein called CD22. The National Cancer Institute team that built the first anti-CD22 drug for this disease now fits a patient's own T cells with a receptor for it. After chemotherapy makes room, one infusion goes in.

Robert Kreitman leads it at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, for adults out of standard options, asking what dose is safe. Public record; not medical advice.
