Prevalence and variation of CHIP in patients with aggressive lymphomas undergoing CD19-directed CAR T-cell treatment.

ABSTRACT: Inflammation plays an important role in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, especially in the pathophysiology of cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Clonal hematopoiesis of indetermined potential (CHIP) has also been associated with chronic inflammation. The relevance of CHIP in the context of CAR T-cell treatment is widely unknown. We evaluated the prevalence of CHIP, using a targeted deep sequencing approach, in a cohort of patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma before and after CAR T-cell treatment. The aim was to define the prevalence and variation of CHIP over time and to assess the influence on clinical inflammation syndromes (CRS/ICANS), cytopenia, and outcome. Overall, 32 patien
