系统性红斑狼疮合并抗磷脂综合征患者 B 细胞淋巴瘤抗 CD19 CAR-T 细胞治疗后抗磷脂抗体消失

Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the development of spontaneous venous, arterial, or microvascular thrombosis and/or pregnancy-related complications (eg, miscarriages, fetal loss) in the presence of persistent antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies.

Current state-of-the-art treatment consists of indefinite anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists to prevent recurrence of thrombotic events. This, however, represents only a symptom-control-oriented treatment approach. To date, no curative option eradicating aPL antibodies permanently or addressing the underlying pathomechanism has been established.

Here, we report the case of a woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid syndrome with triple aPL antibody-positivity who developed recurrent deep venous thrombosis. After receiving chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for aggressive B-cell lymphoma, sustained eradication of all 3 aPL antibody subtypes was observed, suggesting a promising role of immunotherapies targeting anti-CD19 for the treatment of prothrombotic autoimmune disorders.
