非霍奇金淋巴瘤中 CAR-T 细胞治疗失败后的策略

Several CD19 CAR-T-cell drugs are approved for safety and efficacy in advanced B-cell cancers with encouraging results.

However, primary refractory and relapse are common. We critically analyze long-term data on efficacy of CD19 CAR-T-cell therapies in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas from clinical trials with those of so-called real world data.

We identify co-variates associated with efficacy, discuss mechanisms of relapse, summarize the data on the results of post-failure therapy including allotransplants, monoclonal and bi-specific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, immune checkpoint-inhibitors and repeat infusions of CAR-T-cells.

We conclude, save for allotransplants, there are few data strongly supporting any of these interventions. Most trial are with few heterogeneously-treated subjects with diverse interventions and brief follow-up. Interventions need to be tailored to the cause(s) of CAR-T-cell failure. Prestly, there is not a convincingly safe and effective therapy of people failing initial CAR-T-cell therapy of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
