CAR-T 细胞治疗中的眼部毒性：利用 FAERS 数据库的真实世界研究

Aim: The purpose of this study was to comprehensively explore the ocular toxicity associated with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. Materials & methods: Data were assembled from the US FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from 2017 to 2023. Information component and reporting odds ratio methods were used for signal detection in total/categorized CAR T-cell therapy. Results: A total of 17 positive signals (preferred term) were detected, yet none of them were documented in the product information.

Some adverse events were with death outcomes and overlapped a lot with cytokine-release syndrome. Conclusion: The ocular adverse events associated with CAR-T cell therapy are noteworthy, and it is imperative to maintain increased alertness and institute early intervention strategies. CAR-T-cell therapy is a highly effective treatment for blood cancers that has gained significant attention as a promising therapy in recent years.

However, a complete analysis of its side effects on eyes has not been determined. In this study, we examined eye-related adverse events with five US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved CAR T-cell therapies by using data from the FDA.

We found that certain eye issues such as dilated pupils, impaired pupillary light reflex and eye surface bleeding deserve attention. Surprisingly, these problems were not mentioned in the product information. Since some adverse events can have severe outcomes, it is important to be vigilant and take early action.
