    Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) can develop as a late complication of CD19 CAR-T cell therapy, with a notable latency period.

  • 2

    A case study reported t-AML occurring 24 months after CD19 CAR-T therapy in a patient with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

  • 3

    Genomic monitoring revealed a transition from wild-type TP53 to biallelic loss of TP53 in the patient diagnosed with t-AML.

  • 4

    The patient achieved partial remission of t-AML after treatment with azacitidine and venetoclax, followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

  • 5

    This case highlights the need for ongoing hematologic monitoring and genomic profiling beyond 12 months post-CAR-T therapy.
