Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

From the Battalion Commander:
Warm greetings from the ‘dog days’ of another Fort Riley, Kansas sum-
mer. It’s hard to believe that two more months have gone by already
since our last newsletter and that we’re about three weeks away from
school starting up again. On that note, the FRGs are currently spon-
101st BSB
soring a school supply drive with donation collection boxes in Company “Let Us Carry the Burden”
COFs; participation is voluntary as our FRGs help to equip GUARD-
IAN kiddos and tee them up for another great year of learning.
The battalion and brigade entered the TRAIN/ READY Phase of the ARFORGEN cycle effective
In this Issue: 15 July. This means we will shift our efforts from primarily focusing on re-equipping and indi-
vidual training to small unit (Squad/ Section/ Platoon) level collective training to increase our
BN CDR Message 1 readiness. We are kicking this transition off with a BANG! (sorry, couldn’t resist) with our exe-
cution of Convoy Protection Gunnery expertly planned an d led by CPT Anthes and SFC Craft of

Mrs. Lori Rozhon (HHC), SPC Norena (A Co), SSG Corey (B Co) and SPC Almohareb (C Co)
were recognized with the Brigade Volunteer of the Quarter (VOQ) Award. SSG Corey and Lori
Rozhon also earned ID-level VOQ recognition and PFC Chifor (B Co) earned the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal
(MOVSM) for 100 hours of community service. It’s worth noting that earning the MOVSM is also worth 10 promotion points; a
nice bonus in this increasingly competitive promotion environment. Great job to all our awardees; your efforts make our bat-
talion, brigade and the Fort Riley community a world-class place to be stationed! Please contact our BN FRSA, Mrs. Hope

From Command Sergeant Major Jordan
Greetings Guardian Family and Friends,
As always, it is my pleasure to be addressing you all once again. I am glad to
announce that your Guardian Soldiers are doing a fantastic job in supporting
the 1st Infantry Division, Devil Brigade and other training events that are
going on within the Guardians’ footprint. Especially with our current Convoy
Protection Platform Gunnery—we’re getting after it! We will continue to
train hard and be prepared to defend and fight for our country. HOOAH!
Hopefully, you all celebrated a wonderful and happy Independence Day in a
safe manner. Now, it’s time to start getting the kids ready for “back to
school.” It is just around the corner and I know many of you are very excited
about that. Here in the Guardian Battalion, we want to do our part to assist
fellow Guardians in need by off-setting some of their “back to school” ex-
penses as we have a little friendly competition among the companies! The
CSM Jordan company with the most donated school supply items wins a whole day off!
The FRGs have set up collection boxes at each company, so if you’re able to
make a donation, please do so.
I would like to express my congratulations to SGT Williams for win-
ning June NCO of the Month, SGT Poole for winning July NCO of
the Month and PV2 Srey for winning June Soldier of the Month, PFC
Sampson for winning July Soldier of the Month. I would like to Con-
gratulate SFC Turner for being promoted to the rank of Sergeant
First Class effective 1 July 2012. What an awesome achievement for
these Warriors! Great Job! Remember, NCOs are the Keepers of the
Standard and WE MAKE IT HAPPEN!
On 21 August 2012, we will be conducting our first NCO Induction
Ceremony since the deployment from Operation New Dawn. This is
always a great event when you can induct Noncommissioned Officers
into the NCO Corps. We will be conducting our Guardian Truck Ro-
deo as well and I will truly find out who my best driver in the battal-
ion is. Your skills will definitely be put to the test.
Congratulations to SFC
Grape, SGT Gomes and
SPC Gentle and their
Family on the recent
births of their little ones!
We welcome these little
Guardians—we are defi-
nitely growing the
TEAM!
Be on alert from the hot
weather, it has truly been
hot here lately. Continue to hydrate yourself, and eat a well balance
meal. Also, let’s continue to pray for Guardians and their loved ones
who are struggling with illness or other hardships. I pray that each
will feel better soon and overcome any other challenges you’re faced
with. God Bless you all. I am truly proud of every one of you and I
thank you for your commitment, dedication, and sacrifices you make
for our great Nation. Let us carry the burden.

Greetings Guardian Family!
Chaplain Adriatico When you think about growth what stirs your thoughts? Growth can occur
in so many ways, such as: physical growth, relational growth, financial
growth, psychological growth, social growth, spiritual growth and etc.. Yet, have you ever found your-
self overwhelmed with work, finances, and the kids or simply at a point in your life where you simply
desired more? Jesus speaks to the human heart in this aspect that those who learn to give up control of
their own personal will and to “selflessly” put others first is the moment you come to understand what it
means to be fulfilled from the inside out. Within an age of “entitlement” everyone seems to be out for
“number one” but when you fall into this empty abyss of reality, at times, you feel yourself losing the
moral value of right and wrong and a healthy understanding of love, the rewards of humility, the power
of forgiveness and the same freedom of knowing God’s grace toward your undeserving life.
Understand you were created for greatness and to move from ordinary to extraordinary is a “LIFE
LONG PROCESS” that will take patience, hard work and a consistent pursuit of faith in God’s plan that
is so much greater than your own. Take a moment to breathe, pray and to remember that a heart of
gratitude is one of happiness and joy! Be that inspiration of positive thinking and choose to be part of
the solution rather than part of the problem. Successful people take it upon themselves to be responsible
for themselves first and to know that with open ears, a focused mind and a humble heart dedicated to
hard work and a purpose worthy of respect usually results in positive, encouraging and gratifying re-
wards in life. Make good choices! Make good friends! Make it a GREAT day! Look to serve rather than
to be served and within this heart will you find great joy in your passions for life!
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don't
forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which
is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your
thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ. Philippians 4:6-7
Those who hope in the Lord will renew their
strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they
will run and not grow weary, they will walk and
not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

A message from the Commander:
Greetings Avalanche Families:
Julie and I are overwhelmed by the welcome we 1SG Hollifield
CPT Janese
have received here in A Company. I have felt a
part of an extended family since day one. Our family keeps extending. We have had 2 baby boys and 2
baby girls born into the Avalanche family and we are glad to have them!
Reenlistment is a true testament to bravery, dedication and selfless service to our country. A special
thanks to SPC David LaForet for reenlisting. Leadership is a fundamental characteristic of being a Sol-
dier. Much deserved congratulations to newly promoted SPC Joshua Ferguson and PFC Justin Pollard.
I know you will both continue to do great things in Fuel and Water Platoon.
“We Carry the Burden” rang true for us this month and I thank the Soldiers and Families for all their
hard work and dedication in participating and supporting gunnery as well as putting forth effort to-
wards Guardian Sweep. The Soldiers have accomplished a lot this past month, and I am very proud to
be the commander of this company. Unfortunately, we are losing a First Sergeant who will be greatly
missed by all. I challenge you all to live up to 1SG Hollifield’s standard even when he is gone. His dedi-
cation and hard work has led this company to where it is today and we must not go backward. Thank
you all for making this company the best in the battalion!
AVALANCHE!!
Captain Anthony Janese
Hello Avalanche Family! I hope this newsletter is finding you in great spirit and

A Message from the Charlie Company Commander:
Greetings Cyclones!
CPT Kelley, CDR
During the month of July the Cyclones have grown together and
continued to work as a team. Unit cohesiveness during the Role II setup was incredible!
Long hours and hard work were dedicated to accomplish all tasks: Mass Casualty
Training, Level II Aid Station Set-up, Inventories, and Warrior Task Training. Every-
thing was executed and the company is now more mission-ready and growing into a
tight knit family as a result.
Many of our Cyclones have moved on and many more continue to leave
throughout the next several weeks. We want to recognize SGT Kenny, SGT
Harlan, SPC Molina, SPC Staford, SPC Gray, SSG Perkins, SGT Danzy, SGT Acosta,
SGT Allen, and CPL Park who have all contributed to make Charlie Company a work-
ing unit. Every single one of them helped keep the Cyclone Family together and all
will be greatly missed. We all wish you great luck and success in your future! While
we will greatly miss our departing Soldiers, we are also happy to welcome new mem-
bers to our Cyclone team: PFC Knowlton, PFC Cardoza, SPC White, PV2 Berg, PV2
Scott, and lastly SFC Taubert who has been doing a fantastic job as our new acting
1SG.
We have been busy when it comes to promotions. Four of our Cyclones deserve
recognition: PFC Diggs, PV2 Scott, SPC Mahaffy-Pangborn and SPC Noha. All
four Soldiers have performed their tasks with military professionalism and
have more than earned their new ranks. Good job Soldiers!
As the hot summer continues, our Soldiers have their work cut out for them with
various medical coverage taskings: JRTC, FT Polk, multiple ranges, and most impor-
tantly the BN Field Training Exercise (FTX).
All Cyclones will contribute and accomplish any mission assigned to us with efficiency
and in accordance with the military standard. Keep up the good work Cyclones!

8. Relief for Military Homeowners
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced military homeowners with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
loans who receive Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders will be eligible to sell their homes in a short sale, even
if they are current on their mortgage. Previously, many military families felt their only options were to maintain
financial obligations on two residences, or to default on their mortgage. Under the new policy, Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac will not pursue a deficiency judgment or any cash contribution or promissory note from service mem-
bers with PCS orders for any property purchased on or before June 30, 2012.
Service members with PCS orders will be:
Eligible for a short sale immediately, even when they are current on their existing mortgage (the PCS order is
treated as a hardship to deem them eligible);
Exempt from deficiency judgments from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac when receiving permission for a short
sale; and
Relieved of any request or requirement for a cash contribution or promissory note so long as the property was
purchased on or before June 30, 2012.
PCS orders often require quick moves and can create hardship for military homeowners who are underwater on
their mortgages and therefore cannot sell their home without taking a loss. Military families were faced with tough
situations such as living in separate homes or the risk of losing the service member’s security clearance.
Last year Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac issued guidance to mortgage servicers confirming PCS orders as a qualify-
ing hardship for forbearance and loan modifications.
Service members can check the Fannie Mae or the Freddie Mac websites to see if their loans are held by them or
they can call hotlines for military homeowners at 1-877-MIL-4566 or 1-800-FREDDIE.
The National Military Family Association has worked tirelessly to ensure the concerns of military families were
heard. We are pleased the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has continued to educate agencies and
policymakers on the needs of military families. The FHFA policy change will help reduce the stress and financial
burden of military homeowners faced with a government ordered move.
