Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells: Novel cell therapy for hematological malignancies.

ABSTRACT: Over the last decade, the emergence of several novel therapeutic approaches has changed the therapeutic perspective of human malignancies. Adoptive immunotherapy through chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T), which includes the engineering of T cells to recognize tumor-specific membrane antigens and, as a result, death of cancer cells, has created various clinical benefits for the treatment of several human malignancies. In particular, CAR-T-cell-based immunotherapy is known as a critical approach for the treatment of patients with hematological malignancies such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), multiple myeloma (MM), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). However, CAR-T-cell therapy of hematological malignancies is associated with various side effects. There are still extensive challenges in association with further progress of this therapeutic approach, from manufacturing and engineering issues to limitations of applications and serious toxicities. Therefore, further studies are required to enhance efficacy and minimize adverse events. In the current review, we summarize the development of CAR-T-cell-based immunotherapy and current clinical antitumor applications to treat hematological malignancies. Furthermore, we will mention the current advantages, disadvantages, challenges, and therapeutic limitations of CAR-T-cell therapy.

Project description:BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in 30% of patients infused with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors and long-term outcomes after AKI in patients who received CAR T-cell therapy.MethodsMedical records of 115 adult patients with R/R hematological malignancies treated with CD19-targeted CAR T-cells at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital between July 2018 and May 2021. Baseline demographic data including age, gender, ethnicity, body mass index (BMI), and co-morbidities, as well as the type of hematological neoplasia and prior lines of therapy were collected. Laboratory parameters including serum creatinine and whole blood hemoglobin were retrospectively reviewed and values were gathered for days +1, +7, +14, +21, and +28 post-infusion.ResultsA total of 24/115 (21%) patients developed AKI related to CAR T-cell therapy; 6/24 with AKI over chronic kidney disease (CKD). Two patients had AKI in the context of lymphodepleting (LD) chemotherapy and the other 22 after CAR T-cell infusion, starting at day+1 in 3 patients, day+7 in 13 patients, day +14 in 1 patient, day+21 in 2 patients, and day+28 in 3 patients. Renal function was recovered in 19/24 (79%) patients within the first month after infusion. Male gender, CKD, cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) were associated with AKI. Male gender, CKD, ICANS grade ≥3 and CRS grade ≥2 were identified as independent risk factors for AKI on multivariable analysis. In terms of the most frequent CAR T-cell related complications, CRS was observed in 95 (82%) patients and ICANS in 33 (29%) patients. Steroids were required in 34 (30%) patients and tocilizumab in 37 (32%) patients. Six (5%) patients were admitted to the intensive care unit (1 for septic shock, 4 for CRS grade ≥2 associated to ICANS grade ≥2, and 1 for CRS grade ≥3). A total of 5 (4.4%) patients died in the first 30 days after CAR T-cell infusion for reasons other than disease progression, including 4 cases of infectious complications and 1 of heart failure.ConclusionOur results suggest that AKI is a frequent but mild adverse event, with fast recovery in most patients.
