血液系统恶性肿瘤患者 CAR-T 细胞治疗后的营养状态变化：一项回顾性研究

The influence of innovative chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy for hematological malignancies on nutritional status remains unknown. Therefore, we aim to explore the alterations of nutritional status after CAR-T cell therapy in patients with hematological malignancies.

We retrospectively collected the data of patients with acute leukemia (AL), lymphoma, and multiple myeloma (MM), who underwent CAR-T therapy at our hospital from 2018 to 2020. The serum albumin, triglyceride, and cholesterol before and 7, 14, and 21 days after CAR-T cell infusion were compared and analyzed. RESULT: A total of 117 patients were enrolled, consisting of 39 AL, 23 lymphoma, and 55 MM patients. The baseline albumin, triglyceride, and cholesterol were 37.43 5.08 mg/L, 1.63 0.74 mmol/L, and 3.62 1.03 mmol/L, respectively. The lowest albumin level was found at 7 days after CAR-T cell infusion compared with baseline (P < 0.001), while the levels of triglyceride increased at 14 and 21 days (P < 0.001, P = 0.036). The levels of cholesterol at 7, 14, and 21 days after CAR-T cell infusion were lower than baseline (all P < 0.05). Spearman's correlation coefficient showed cytokine release syndrome grade was negatively correlated with the levels of albumin at 7 days and cholesterol at 21 days after CAR-T cell infusion (r = - 0.353, P < 0.001; r = - 0.395, P = 0.002).

The alterations of different nutrition-related biochemical parameters varied after CAR-T cell therapy. The levels of albumin and total cholesterol after CAR-T cell infusion were negatively correlated with the grade of cytokine release syndrome. Specific screening and intervention for malnutrition in patients receiving CAR-T cell therapy need to be explored in further studies.
