Academic anti CD19 CAR-T cell therapy for relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphomas in real-world clinical practice: a prospective cohort study
To assess the efficacy and safety of academic CAR-T cells in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphomas.
Approach:
CAR-T Cell Production: The CAR-T cell product was manufactured using a lentiviral vector encoding anti-CD19 CAR, which is crucial for the therapeutic efficacy of the treatment.
Key Findings:
Complete response achieved in 57.5% of patients.
4-year event-free survival (EFS) rate was 46.2 ± 6.3%.
4-year overall survival (OS) rate was 67 ± 5.9%.
In patients with follicular lymphoma, complete response was 83.3% with a 4-year EFS of 81.7 ± 9.6%.
Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) occurred in 43.4% of patients, with ≥ grade 3 in 2.6%.
Neurotoxicity (ICANS) was identified in 26.3% of patients, with grade 4 ICANS in 2.6%.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
The study is limited to a single center and may not be generalizable.
The follow-up period may not be sufficient to assess long-term outcomes.
Conclusion:
The academic CAR T-cell product is a potential option for patients in regions where commercial products are not accessible.
