Patient-derived glioblastoma organoids as real-time avatars for assessing responses to clinical CAR-T cell therapy.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Patient-derived tumor organoids have been leveraged for disease modeling and preclinical studies but rarely applied in real time to aid with interpretation of patient treatment responses in clinics. We recently demonstrated early efficacy signals in a first-in-human, phase 1 study of dual-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells (EGFR-IL13Rα2 CAR-T cells) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Here, we analyzed six sets of patient-derived glioblastoma organoids (GBOs) treated concurrently with the same autologous CAR-T cell products as patients in our phase 1 study. We found that CAR-T cell treatment led to target antigen reduction and cytolysis of tumor cells in GBOs, the degree of which correlated with CAR-T cell engraftment detected in patients' cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Furthermore, cytokine release patterns in GBOs mirrored those in patient CSF samples over time. Our findings highlight a unique trial design and GBOs as a valuable platform for real-time assessment of CAR-T cell bioactivity and insights into immunotherapy efficacy.
