Objective:

To evaluate the influence of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) on the manufacturing success of CAR T-cells in a cohort of patients scheduled for treatment with tisa-cel.

Key Findings:
  • CH mutations were present in 50% of successful collections, 57% of terminations, and 25% of OOS products.
  • No significant association was found between CH status and manufacturing success or proliferation-related failures.
  • The most frequently mutated genes were DNMT3A (24%), PPM1D (22%), and TET2 (18%).
Interpretation:

Remove this section.

Limitations:
  • Limited cohort size may restrict the generalizability of findings.
  • Absence of association with DNA damage response mutations does not exclude potential biological effects.
Conclusion:

Revise to eliminate unsupported claims and focus on findings.
