This review examines the recent clinical advances, challenges, and future directions of CD7 CAR-T therapy. Clinical trials have demonstrated remarkable efficacy of CD7 chimeric antigen receptor T (CD7 CAR-T) cells in treating T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL), and other CD7-positive malignancies, with complete remission (CR) rates of 90-95% in bone marrow (BM) and 50% to 60% in extramedullary disease (EMD). Various engineering strategies, including naturally selected CD7-targeted CAR-T cells, gene editing, protein blockers and universal CAR-T cells, have been developed to overcome challenges such as fratricide. While CD7 CAR-T therapy has shown promising initial responses, durable remissions often depend on consolidative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Ongoing research is focused on optimizing CAR designs, improving CAR-T cell persistence, and developing novel combination strategies to enhance long-term outcomes. Safety profiles have been generally manageable, with cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity being the primary concerns. However, prolonged cytopenias and potential long-term immunodeficiency due to depletion of healthy CD7-positive cells remain areas of active investigation. As CD7 CAR-T therapy continues to evolve, future directions include refining patient selection, exploring dual-targeting approaches, and investigating innovative strategies to integrate CAR-T therapy with allo-HSCT. These advancements aim to improve the efficacy, safety, and accessibility of CD7 CAR-T therapy for patients with CD7-positive hematological malignancies.</p>","PeriodicalId":10348,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma & Leukemia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144076428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CRS occurred in 10 patients (19.2%, 9/10 events grade 1/2) and ICANS occurred in 3 patients (5.8%, grade 1). Four patients (7.7%) required hospitalization for toxicity management. All patients recovered from CRS and ICANS without additional toxicity.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Implementation of this OP BsAb SUD protocol is feasible with acceptable risk of CRS/ICANS and hospitalization without compromising on safety. The low incidence of CRS/ ICANS with prophylactic tocilizumab and premedication and low hospitalization rates make this appealing for selected RRMM patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":10348,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma & Leukemia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143970000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
