Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor T (CART) cells targeting CD19 have shown promising results in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, efficacy seems to be inferior compared to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Impaired T-cell fitness of CLL patients may be involved in treatment failure. Less-differentiated naïve-like T cells play an important role in CART expansion and long-term persistence in vivo. These cells are sparse in CLL patients.
