Abstract
More than half of patients with relapsed and/or refractory B cell lymphomas who receive CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells do not have long-term remission. Furthermore, limited evidence is available on the effectiveness of subsequent treatment options for these patients, the majority of whom have CD19+ disease at relapse. Now, data from a phase I trial demonstrate that the autologous IL-18-armoured CAR T cell product huCART19-IL18 is safe and efficacious in this setting.
The trial involved adult patients with CD19+ B cell lymphomas (including diffuse large B cell lymphomas and follicular lymphomas in 38% and 29% of patients, respectively) who had previously received a median of seven previous lines of therapy including CD19-targeted CAR T cells. Of 28 patients enrolled, 21 received huCART19-IL18 cells. Of note, cell-product manufacturing failed for only one patient.
