Risk factors for CAR T-cell manufacturing failure and patient outcomes in large B-cell lymphoma: a report from the UK National CAR T Panel.

ABSTRACT: CAR T-cell manufacturing failure (MF) is a situation where the manufacturing process fails to yield a product or results in one which is out-of-specification (OOS). We conducted a multicentre retrospective review of factors contributing to MF and patient outcomes. Of 981 large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) patients approved for CAR T-cell therapy, 38 (3.87%) had MF. Eleven patients received delayed infusion with a product in-specification (delayed-infused) following 21 remanufacturing attempts. OOS product was infused in 13 (OOS-infused), and 14 were not infused. For comparison, we included 38 LBCL controls without MF; 29 received infusion (controls-infused). Prior bendamustine was the only baseline variable associated with MF risk, largely due to therapy within 6 months; 23.7% MF vs 0% controls
