Treatment of CD20-directed Chimeric Antigen Receptor-modified T cells in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma: an early phase IIa trial report.

ABSTRACT: Patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma have a dismal prognosis. Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-modified T cells (CART cells) that targeted CD20 were effective in a phase I clinical trial for patients with advanced B-cell lymphomas. We performed a phase IIa trial to further assess the safety and efficacy of administering autologous anti-CD20 CART (CART-20) cells to patients with refractory or relapsed CD20+ B-cell lymphoma. Eleven patients were enrolled, and seven patients underwent cytoreductive chemotherapy to debulk the tumors and deplete the lymphocytes before receiving T-cell infusions. The overall objective response rate was 9 of 11 (81.8%), with 6 complete remissions (CRs) and 3 partial remissions; no severe toxicity was observed. The median progression-free survival lasted for >6 months, and 1 patient had a 27-month continuous CR. A significant inverse correlation between the levels of the CAR gene and disease recurrence or progression was observed. Clinically, the lesions in special sites, specifically the spleen and testicle, were refractory to CART-20 treatment. Collectively, these results together with our data from phase I strongly demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of CART-20 treatment in lymphomas and suggest large-scale patient recruitment in a future study. This study was registered at www.clinicaltrials.org as NCT01735604.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) lymphomas have benefited from chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapy. However, this treatment is linked to a high frequency of adverse events (AEs), such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), and hematologic toxicity. There has been increasing interest in hematological toxicity in recent years, as it can result in additional complications, such as infection or hemorrhage, which remain intractable.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective, single-institution study to evaluate the patterns and outcomes of cytopenia following CAR-T-cell infusion and potential associated factors.ResultsOverall, 133 patients with R/R lymphoma who received CAR-T-cell therapy from June, 2017 to April, 2022 were included in this analysis. Severe neutropenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia occurred frequently (71, 30 and 41%, respectively) after CAR-T-cell infusion. A total of 98% of severe neutropenia and all severe thrombocytopenia cases occurred in the early phase. Early severe cytopenia was associated with CRS incidence and severity, as well as peak inflammatory factor (IL-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), and ferritin) levels. In multivariate analysis, prior hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), baseline hemoglobin (HB), and lymphodepleting chemotherapy were independent adverse factors associated with early severe cytopenia. In addition, 18% and 35% of patients had late neutrophil- and platelet (PLT)-related toxicity, respectively. In multivariate analysis, lower baseline PLT count was an independent factor associated with late thrombocytopenia. More severe cytopenia was associated with higher infection rates and poorer survival.ConclusionsThis research indicates that improved selection of patients and management of CRS may help to decrease the severity of cytopenias and associated AEs and improve survival following CAR-T-cell therapy.Clinical trial registrationhttps://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03196830, identifier NCT03196830.
