Real-world clinical outcomes of CAR-T therapy from the Montefiore health system in the Bronx.

ABSTRACT: Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has transformed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treatment, but data in diverse urban populations remain limited. We report outcomes from a comprehensive cancer center in the Bronx. Montefiore Health System treated 79 DLBCL patients with CAR-T from March 2018 to July 2024. Demographics, comorbidities, socioeconomic factors, and acute complications, including immune effector cell neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), cytokine release syndrome (CRS), cardiotoxicity, and pulmonary events, were tabulated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed up to five years. Multivariate adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) were calculated for remission and 3-year mortality. CAR-T achieved complete remissions in 50.6%, partial remission in 16.5%, and progression
