Efficacy and safety of chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with different HBV status: a retrospective study from a single center.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy is an effective salvage treatment in relapsed or refractory(r/r) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), but the impact of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has not been studied.

Methods and results

Here, 51 patients with r/r DLBCL receiving CAR-T therapy were enrolled and analyzed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. The overall response rate and the complete remission rate (CR) of CAR-T therapy were 74.5% and 39.2%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 21.1 months after CAR-T, the probabilities of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) at 36 months were 43.4% and 28.7%, respectively. These patients were divided into three cohorts including chronic HBV infection group (n=6), resolved HBV infection group (n=25) and non-HBV infection group (n=20). Bone marrow involvement was significantly higher in the HBV infection group(P<0.001), other basic characteristics before CAR-T therapy were comparable. Subgroup analysis showed that HBV infection status did not affect the efficacy of CAR-T therapy in CR rate, OS or PFS, and there was no significant difference in CAR-T related toxicities between three cohorts. Only one cirrhosis patient with chronic HBV infection experienced HBV reactivation.

Conclusions

CAR-T therapy was effective and can be used safely in r/r DLBCL with HBV infection under proper monitoring and antiviral prophylaxis.

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.
