CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CD19-CAR) T-cell therapy has emerged as a safe and effective treatment for B-cell lymphomas. We aimed to assess toxicity and efficacy of CD19-CAR T-cells in neurolymphomatosis. Neurolymphomatosis patients treated with CD19 CAR T-cells were retrospectively identified at Massachusetts General Hospital over a six-year period. Toxicities were graded according to the ASTCT classification, management, and response rates were recorded. Eleven neurolymphomatosis patients were identified with a median of 2 lines of PNS-directed treatments (range: 1-3) prior to receiving CD19-CAR T-cells. Neurolymphomatosis localized to the nerve roots (8/11, 73%), plexus (5/11, 45%), peripheral (4/11, 36%) and cranial nerves (5/11, 45%). Low grade cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was detected in 8/11 (73%; grade 1: N = 7; grade 2: N = 1) cases. Low- and high-grade immune cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) were recorded in 5/11 (45%; grade 1: N = 4; grade 2: N = 1) and 1/11 (9%; grade 4) patients, respectively. CRP levels at infusion were predictive of ICANS (area under the curve: 0.96, p = 0.01). Seven of eleven neurolymphomatosis patients (64%) responded to CD19-CAR T-cells. Complete remissions (CR) were achieved in three cases (27%), with 2 patients in sustained CR nine and 46 months after CD19-CAR infusion. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4 months. Collectively, CD19-CAR T-cell treatment was well tolerated and showed promising efficacy in recurrent neurolymphomatosis, a difficult to treat condition with unmet medical need. Findings suggest that CD19-CAR may sufficiently penetrate the blood-nerve barrier. Toxicity and outcomes were overall similar to CAR-T cell therapy in CNS lymphoma.\u0000 <figure>\u0000 <div><picture>\u0000 <source></source></picture><p></p>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </figure></p>","PeriodicalId":7724,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Hematology","volume":"99 12","pages":"2411-2415"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ajh.27505","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142488235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dose increases (for AIHA worsening) or decreases (for tolerability) were permitted. Primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients with complete (≥12 g/dL hemoglobin [Hgb]) or partial (10–12 g/dL Hgb or ≥2 g/dL increase from baseline) response at any visit during weeks 6–12 not attributable to transfusion. Among 25 enrolled patients (median age, 63 y), 16 (64%) achieved a partial or complete Hgb response during weeks 6–12. Responses were observed by week 1 in 52.0% of patients with incremental improvements during weeks 6–12 and sustained responses during the extension period. Responses were higher among patients with warm AIHA versus other types (75.0% vs. 44.4%). Clinically meaningful improvements in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue scores were observed at weeks 6 and 12.
