CCR5-mutant donor transplant offers HIV remission in Oslo patient

An Oslo man with HIV and bone marrow cancer underwent an allogeneic stem cell transplant from his CCR5Δ32/Δ32 brother. The donor’s double mutation disabled a key HIV entry protein, enabling his new immune system to replace the patient’s. Two years post-transplant, the patient’s HIV is undetectable and he has stopped antiretroviral therapy without viral rebound, indicating a likely cure or sustained remission. The approach is rare, carries significant risks, and findings may guide future cures, but it is not scalable for general HIV treatment and requires further study.

First-line immunotherapy yields dramatic shrinkage in metastatic colon cancer

A 30-year-old father with metastatic, microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer and 13 lung tumors enrolled in a Duke trial testing immunotherapy as a first-line treatment instead of chemotherapy. The therapy dramatically reduced tumors (from 13 to 3; the largest under 0.6 mm), offering a path toward remission and prompting hopes for broader use. Full trial results are due in April, but experts caution it’s not yet standard of care and research will continue to refine patient selection. The case highlights a potential shift in treating certain colorectal cancers when detected early in the disease course.
