And in New York City, we've hired a bunch of enrollers to get our
patients
into the supplemental nutrition program known as "food stamps" to most people.
When
patients
and doctors don't understand each other, mistakes will occur.
For non-English-speaking patients, translation is as important as a prescription pad.
But more than anything else, I think low-income
patients
benefit from having a primary care doctor.
This was really brought home to me when one of my own long-term
patients
died at an outside hospital.
When our health care systems have the same commitment to low-income
patients
that that man had to us, two things will happen.
And that interest led to a major explosion within medicine, including the Network Medicine Division at Harvard, that has more than 300 researchers who are using this perspective to treat
patients
and develop new cures.
We have had CAR T cells stay in the bodies of our cancer
patients
now for more than eight years.
Then in 1997, we first tested CAR T cells in
patients
with advanced HIV-AIDS.
And we found that those CAR T cells survived in the
patients
for more than a decade.
And by 2010, we began treating leukemia
patients.
And our team treated three
patients
with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2012.
Bone marrow biopsies found no evidence of leukemia, and that year, in our first three
patients
we treated, two of three have had durable remissions now for eight years, and one had a partial remission.
The CAR T cells had attacked the leukemia in these
patients
and had dissolved between 2.9 and 7.7 pounds of tumor in each patient.
The first two
patients
who had full remission remain today leukemia-free, and we think they are cured.
We've found that it occurs in nearly all
patients
who respond to the therapy.
But it does not happen in those
patients
who fail to respond.
So paradoxically, our
patients
now hope for these high fevers after therapy, which feels like "the worst flu in their life," when they get CAR T-cell therapies.
Patients
who do not get CRS are often those who are not cured.
That's why last summer, when the FDA approved CAR T cells for leukemia, they also co-approved the use of tocilizumab to block the IL-6 effects and the accompanying CRS in these
patients.
Emily's doctors have now completed further trials and reported that 27 out of 30 patients, the first 30 we treated, or 90 percent, had a complete remission after CAR T cells, within a month.
A 90 percent complete remission rate in
patients
with advanced cancer is unheard of in more than 50 years of cancer research.
In fact, companies often declare success in a cancer trial if 15 percent of the
patients
had a complete response rate.
We're so grateful to see
patients
who were formerly terminal return to healthy lives, as Emily has.
So, of course, we'd like to see research done now to make this more efficient and increase affordability to all
patients.
Our first commercial device is a urological catheter, which doctors began using for
patients
just last year.
In his experiment, Jos found the
patients
got better in half the time, and costs fell by 30 percent.
And Sam was really uncomfortable, because he had loads of
patients
coming to him with terrible depression and anxiety.
Firstly, his
patients
were depressed and anxious a lot of the time for totally understandable reasons, like loneliness.
