门诊环境下的 CAR-T 细胞治疗：美国移植与细胞治疗学会专家小组意见

The first series of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy products were approved in 2017 to 2019 and have shown remarkable efficacy in both clinical trials and the real-world setting, but at the cost of prolonged patient hospitalization. As the toxicity management protocols were refined, the concept of cellular therapy administered in the outpatient setting gained steam, and single institutions began to perform certain aspects of CAR-T monitoring in the outpatient setting for select patients.

However, there are many considerations for a successful outpatient program.

In anticipation of increasing use of CAR-T-cell therapy in the outpatient setting as a mechanism to overcome frequent hospital bed shortages and high cost of inpatient care, the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy convened a group of experts in hematology, oncology, and cellular therapy to provide a comprehensive review of the existing publications on outpatient CAR-T cell therapy, discuss selected ongoing clinical trials of outpatient CAR-T, and describe strategies to optimize safety without compromising efficacy for patients treated and monitored in the outpatient setting.
