CAR-T 细胞治疗并发症的新型治疗方式：病例报告

Immune cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) and cytokine release syndrome (CRS) are both common adverse effects of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. Blinatumomab is a commonly used CAR T-cell treatment in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).

Our patient presented with an extensive past medical history, including refractory B-ALL, and developed CRS and ICANS following treatment with blinatumomab CAR-T cell therapy. Early clinical detection of ICANS, monitoring using immune effector cell encephalopathy scores, following the appropriate protocol for ICANS grade, and adding anakinra (IL-1 receptor antagonist) were crucial steps in managing his condition.

The approach to managing and monitoring this patient was unique in that we added anakinra to the standard treatment regimen. With this report, we emphasize the need for further research regarding CAR T-cell therapeutic regimens and how to decrease the morbidity and mortality of its adverse effects.
