- Coronaviruses typically cause common colds but SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV can cause pneumonia, respiratory failure, and death. A novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, emerged in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and caused a global pandemic.
- SARS-CoV-2 spreads mainly through respiratory droplets when people cough, sneeze or talk within 6 feet of each other. Asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic people are highly infectious.
- COVID-19 symptoms range from mild to critical illness. The elderly and those with pre-existing conditions are at higher risk for severe disease. Diagnosis involves PCR testing of respiratory samples.
COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus and has developed into a worldwide pandemic. The virus can affect the cardiovascular system by directly infecting heart cells or causing inflammation. For those with congenital heart disease, risk of serious illness from COVID-19 is higher for those over 70, with complex heart conditions, lung disease, or other health problems. While little is known about effects on those with CHD, children may be less severely affected than adults. Treatment focuses on symptoms, and most cases can be managed at home with self-care.
Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in ChildrenFatima Farid
Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is a new condition linked to COVID-19 where different body parts can become inflamed. It has been reported worldwide since April 2020. The main symptoms include persistent fever plus inflammation in at least two organs, such as the gastrointestinal, skin, or vascular systems. The cause is believed to be an abnormal immune response to the COVID-19 virus several weeks after infection. While most children recover, some have developed severe illness requiring intensive care including heart problems. Treatment focuses on stabilization, medications to reduce inflammation, and monitoring for complications.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. 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.
