Cytokine Release Syndrome After Modified CAR-NK Therapy in an Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patient: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Use of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), as an immune cell therapy, has generated excellent clinical outcomes against hematologic tumors in recent years. Among them, the CAR-NK (natural killer) therapy has shown better efficacy, and less toxicity, than chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. In our phase II clinical trials, administering chimeric costimulatory converting receptor (CCCR)-NK92 cells on advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients proved efficacious in cell and animal experiments. However, we observed occurrence of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), a rare and unexpected side effect, never reported before during CAR-NK therapy. Here, we provide a detailed report of the patient's case, emphasize on the need to pay attention to CRS in NK cell therapy, and suggest improvements that will minimize potential toxicity.

Case Report: Cardiac Tamponade in Association With Cytokine Release Syndrome Following CAR-T Cell Therapy.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has been shown to have substantial efficacy against refractory hematopoietic malignancies. However, it frequently causes cytokine release syndrome (CRS) as a treatment-specific adverse event. Although cardiovascular events associated with CAR-T cell therapy have been increasingly reported recently, pericardial disease is a rare complication and its clinical course is not well characterized. Here, we report a case of acute pericardial effusion with cardiac tamponade after CAR-T cell therapy.Case summaryA 59-year-old man with refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma underwent CAR-T cell therapy. Grade 2 CRS was observed on day 0; it progressed to grade 4 on day 7 and was accompanied by a fever over 39°C, hypoxia requiring intubation, hypotension requiring the use of a vasopressor agent, and supraventricular tachycardia. Although cardiac function was preserved, marked pericardial effusion with the collapse of the right heart was detected on echocardiography. Since pericardiocentesis was considered to have a high complication risk due to severe myelosuppression, medications for CRS were prioritized. Tocilizumab, an interleukin-6 inhibitor, and high-dose methylprednisolone (1 g/day for 3 days) were administered for the management of severe CRS. On day 8, the pericardial effusion decreased, and the hemodynamic status markedly stabilized. CRS did not exacerbate after the steroid dose was reduced. Further, lymphoma size reduced after the induction of CAR-T cell therapy, and tumor regrowth was not noted at 3 months after CAR-T cell infusion.ConclusionInterleukin-6 pathway inhibitors and corticosteroid therapy should be considered in the context of CRS for significant pericardial effusion after CAR-T cell therapy in the acute phase.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy targeting CD19 is an effective treatment for refractory B cell malignancies, especially acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). While a majority of patients will achieve a complete response following a single infusion of CD19 CAR T cells, the broad applicability of this treatment is hampered by severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which is characterised by fever, hypotension and respiratory insufficiency associated with elevated serum cytokines including interleukin-6 (IL-6). CRS usually occurs within days of T cell infusion at the peak of CAR T cell expansion. In ALL, it is most frequent and more severe in patients with high tumour burden CRS is often responsive to IL-6 receptor blockade, but may require intensive life support and further treatment with high dose corticosteroids to prevent potentially lethal severity. Improved therapeutic and preventive treatments require a better understanding of CRS physiopathology, which has so far remained elusive. We report here a murine model of CRS that develops within 2-3 days of CAR T cell infusion, may be lethal and is responsive to IL-6 receptor blockade. We show that its severity is mediated not by CAR T cell-derived cytokines but by IL-6, interleukin-1 (IL-1) and Nitric Oxide (NO) produced by recipient macrophages. This CRS mechanism enables novel therapeutic interventions.

A Computational Model of Cytokine Release Syndrome during CAR T-cell Therapy.

Project description:Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a lethal adverse event in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, hindering this promising therapy for cancers, such as B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Clinical management of CRS requires a better understanding of its underlying mechanisms. In this study, a computational model of CRS during CAR T-cell therapy is built to depict how the cellular interactions among CAR T-cells, B-ALL cells, and bystander monocytes, as well as the accompanying molecular interactions among various inflammatory cytokines, influence the severity of CRS. The model successfully defines the factors related to severe CRS and studied the effects of immunomodulatory therapy on CRS. The use of the model is also demonstrated as a precision medicine tool to optimize the treatment scheme, including personalized choice of CAR T-cell products and control of switchable CAR T-cell activity, for a more efficient and safer immunotherapy. This new computational oncology model can serve as a precision medicine tool to guide the clinical management of CRS during CAR T cell therapy.

Emerging approaches for preventing cytokine release syndrome in CAR-T cell therapy.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have demonstrated remarkable anti-tumor efficacy against hematological malignancies, such as leukemia and lymphoma. However, patients treated with CAR-T cells frequently experience cytokine release syndrome (CRS), one of the most life-threatening adverse events of the therapy induced by systemic concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines throughout the body. Immunosuppressants such as tocilizumab are currently administered to treat the onset and progression of CRS symptoms. In order to reduce the risk of CRS, newly designed next-generation CAR-T treatments are being developed for both hematopoietic malignancies and solid tumors. In this review, we discuss six classes of interesting approaches that control cytokine production of CAR-T cell therapy: adaptor-based strategies, orthogonal cytokine-receptor pairs, regulation of macrophage cytokine activity, autonomous neutralization of key cytokines, kill switches and methods of reversible suppression of CARs. With these strategies, future CAR-T cell therapies will be designed to preemptively inhibit CRS, minimize the patients' suffering, and maximize the number of benefiting patients.

Biomarkers of cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity related to CAR-T cell therapy.

Project description:Severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity following chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy can be life-threatening in some cases, and management of those toxicities is still a great challenge for physicians. Researchers hope to understand the pathophysiology of CRS and neurotoxicity, and identify predictive biomarkers that can forecast those toxicities in advance. Some risk factors for severe CRS and/or neurotoxicity including patient and treatment characteristics have been identified in multiple clinical trials of CAR-T cell therapy. Moreover, several groups have identified some predictive biomarkers that are able to determine beforehand which patients may suffer severe CRS and/or neurotoxicity during CAR-T cell therapy, facilitating testing of early intervention strategies for those toxicities. However, further studies are needed to better understand the biology and related risk factors for CRS and/or neurotoxicity, and determine if those identified predictors can be extrapolated to other series. Herein, we review the pathophysiology of CRS and neurotoxicity, and summarize the progress of predictive biomarkers to improve CAR-T cell therapy in cancer.

Hemofiltration Successfully Eliminates Severe Cytokine Release Syndrome Following CD19 CAR-T-Cell Therapy.

Project description:Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) remains to be a major adverse effect of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and lymphoma. It was urgent to explore novel strategy for managing severe CRS. We conducted a clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of CD19-targeting CAR-T-cells in the treatment of relapsed and chemotherapy-refractory B-ALL and lymphoma. A 10-year-old boy with B-ALL who never achieved minimal residual disease (MRD) negative status after 5 courses of chemotherapy was enrolled into our study and received a total of 3.19×10/kg autologous CD19 CAR-T-cells. Before CAR-T-cell infusion, naive lymphocytes made up 41.8% of bone marrow cells, which were reduced to 1% at the 14th day after transfusion, with MRD<10. However, this patient developed grade 4 CRS, multiple organ failure, hemophagocytic syndrome, neurotoxicity, and severe pulmonary infection after CAR-T-cell therapy. Tocilizumab and glucocorticoids treatment were ineffective for controlling the adverse effects and in contrast, hemofiltration immediately ameliorated the severe CRS and prevented the exacerbation of multiple organ dysfunction, pneumonia, and hydrosarca caused by CAR-T-cell therapy. All side effects disappeared within days following hemofiltration. Hemofiltration helped quickly clear cytokines, speeded up patient recover, and successfully resolved the severe CRS crisis. This was the first report, reporting the successful use of hemofiltration to eliminate adverse reactions of CAR-T-cell therapy.

Grading of cytokine release syndrome associated with the CAR T cell therapy tisagenlecleucel.

Project description:BackgroundAnti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy has demonstrated high response rates in patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) B cell malignancies but is associated with significant toxicity. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is the most significant complication associated with CAR T cell therapy, and it is critical to have a reproducible and easy method to grade CRS after CAR T cell infusions.DiscussionThe Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events scale is inadequate for grading CRS associated with cellular therapy. Clinical experience with the anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy tisagenlecleucel at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) was used to develop the Penn grading scale for CRS. The Penn grading scale depends on easily accessible clinical features; does not rely on location of care or quantitation of supportive care; assigns grades to guide CRS management; distinguishes between mild, moderate, severe, and life-threatening CRS; and applies to both early-onset and delayed-onset CRS associated with T cell therapies. Clinical data from 55 pediatric patients with r/r B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and 42 patients with r/r chronic lymphocytic lymphoma treated with tisagenlecleucel were used to demonstrate the current application of the Penn grading scale.ConclusionWe show that the Penn grading scale provides reproducible CRS grading that can be useful to guide therapy and that can be applied across clinical trials and treatment platforms.

Self-regulating CAR-T cells modulate cytokine release syndrome in adoptive T-cell therapy.

Project description:Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a frequently observed side effect of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy. Here, we report self-regulating T cells that reduce CRS severity by secreting inhibitors of cytokines associated with CRS. With a humanized NSG-SGM3 mouse model, we show reduced CRS-related toxicity in mice treated with CAR-T cells secreting tocilizumab-derived single-chain variable fragment (Toci), yielding a safety profile superior to that of single-dose systemic tocilizumab administration. Unexpectedly, Toci-secreting CD19 CAR-T cells exhibit superior in vivo antitumor efficacy compared with conventional CD19 CAR-T cells. scRNA-seq analysis of immune cells recovered from tumor-bearing humanized mice revealed treatment with Toci-secreting CD19 CAR-T cells enriches for cytotoxic T cells while retaining memory T-cell phenotype, suggesting Toci secretion not only reduces toxicity but also significantly alters the overall T-cell composition. This approach of engineering T cells to self-regulate inflammatory cytokine production is a clinically compatible strategy with the potential to simultaneously enhance safety and efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy for cancer.
