A comprehensive analysis of adverse events in the first 30 days of phase 1 pediatric CAR T-cell trials.

ABSTRACT: The tremendous success of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells in children and young adults (CAYAs) with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is tempered by toxicities such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Despite expansive information about CRS, profiling of specific end-organ toxicities secondary to CAR T-cell therapy in CAYAs is limited. This retrospective, single-center study sought to characterize end-organ specific adverse events (AEs) experienced by CAYAs during the first 30 days after CAR T-cell infusion. AEs graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events were retrospectively analyzed for 134 patients enrolled in 1 of 3 phase 1 CAR T-cell trials (NCT01593696, NCT02315612, and NCT03448393), targeting CD19 and/or CD22. A total of 133 patients (99
