FALMOUTH – Hunter Richard Barr passed away peacefully on April 26, 2020, surrounded by his loving family following complications from Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, or DIPG, a pediatric brain tumor.
In mice whose brainstems were implanted with human DIPG, engineered immune cells known as chimeric antigen receptor T cells -- or CAR-T cells -- were able to eliminate tumors, leaving very few residual cancer cells.
Most of those childhood ambitions stopped Oct. 16, 2015, the day Kyler was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, a childhood cancer better known by its initials, DIPG.
In collaboration with European doctors, the Biomede trial, expected to start in three months, will use DNA sequencing of biopsied DIPG tumours, found in the brain stem, to tailor specific drugs for a child’s individual tumour.
'However with DIPG, early diagnosis makes no difference - you just get to know sooner your child or grandchild will die.'
