Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a revolutionary form of immunotherapy that has proven to be efficacious in the treatment of many hematologic cancers. CARs are modified T lymphocytes that express an artificial receptor specific to a tumor-associated antigen. These engineered cells are then reintroduced to upregulate the host immune responses and eradicate malignant cells. While the use of CAR T cell therapy is rapidly expanding, little is known about how common side effects such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity (ICANS) present radiographically. Here we provide a comprehensive review of how side effects present in different organ systems and how they can be optimally imaged. Early and accurate recognition of the radiographic presentation of these side effects is critical to the practicing radiologist and their patients so that these side effects can be promptly identified and treated.

Rapid response in relapsed follicular lymphoma with massive chylous ascites to anti-CD19 CAR T therapy using Piggy Bac: A case report. Front Immunol 2022; 13:1007210. [PMID: 36532014 PMCID: PMC9752063 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.1007210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has been shown to achieve a considerably durable response in patients with refractory or relapsed B cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, as seen from the results of Zuma-1, Zuma-5, and other clinical trials. Most of these CARs were generated by lentivirus or reverse adenovirus. It is rare to see CARs using non-viral vectors, such as Piggy Bac (pb), in treating lymphoma patients with active diseases. Generally, patients with a high tumor burden tend to have a higher rate of severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or neurological events as reported in the literature. Patients with symptomatic pleural effusions are excluded from the Zuma-1 trial because of the risk of severe CRS. We report here that a patient with relapsed follicular lymphoma with bulky disease and massive chylous ascites failed several lines of chemotherapy. After infusion of the CD19-directed pbCAR-T cells at 6 × 106 cells/kg, the patient had a rapid response and achieved a nearly complete metabolic remission on day 28. There was only grade 1 CRS, and no neurotoxicity occurred. The CAR-T cells reached a peak level on day 14 and spread into the ascites and expanded for 3 months. This might be the first case reported for pbCAR-T cells to treat relapsed follicular lymphoma directly. The long-term efficacy will be observed, and more patients be tested in the future.
