CAR-T cell therapy, a personalized form of immunotherapy for certain blood cancers, is gaining global relevance. This review analyzed real-world data from 26 studies (2,716 patients) on six EMA-approved CAR-T products. Results show that real-world outcomes are generally comparable to clinical trials, with better results than non-CAR-T treatments. However, due to study limitations and risk of bias, the effectiveness and safety of CAR-T therapy remain uncertain. Longer follow-ups and broader indications offer new insights but highlight the need for more robust evidence.
