Trends in utilization of stored cryopreserved autologous peripheral hematopoietic cells intended for a second (or beyond) autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma: a single center experience. Bone Marrow Transplant 2023; 58:1130-1136. [PMID: 37479753 PMCID: PMC10555832 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-023-02035-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 06/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
Due to the advent of effective novel therapies for multiple myeloma (MM), the use of cryopreserved autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic cells (APBHC) for a salvage autologous transplant (auto-HCT) is in decline. We evaluated utilization trends and costs associated with cryopreserved APBHC in patients with MM. We retrospectively evaluated the clinicopathologic data from 440 patients with MM who underwent APBHC mobilization and collection at Mayo Clinic Florida between 2010 and 2019. Based on institution-specific charges as of May 2021, the cost of 1 session of APBHC collection/apheresis was $4,680 and the cost of 1 year of APBHC cryopreservation was $4,790 per patient. Out of 347 patients who had APBHC in cryopreservation, 5 (1.4%) underwent a salvage auto-HCT and 61% of patients had ≥1 excess collection sessions for APBHC that ultimately went unused. The median cost of excess collection sessions was $4,680 per patient (range, $4,680-$32,760) and the median total cost for excess collection sessions plus costs for storage was $23,840 per patient (range, $4,680-$85,450). The sum of costs of excess collection sessions was $2,077,920 and the sum of costs of cryopreservation was $5,812,665. Institutional policies regarding universal APBHC collection and long-term storage should be reevaluated in the era of novel therapeutics.

[PMID: 36737060 PMCID: PMC9975047 DOI: 10.1080/14740338.2023.2177268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a highly effective therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) and three CD19 CAR T-cell products (axicabtagene ciloleucel, tisagenlecleucel and lisocabtagene maraleucel) are currently approved for this indication. Despite the clinical benefit of CD19 directed CAR T-cell therapy, this treatment is associated with significant morbidity from treatment-emergent toxicities. AREAS COVERED This Review discusses the safety considerations of axicabtagene ciloleucel in patients with LBCL. This includes discussion of the frequently observed immune-mediated toxicities of cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome. Additionally, we review CAR T-cell therapy related cytopenias, infection, organ dysfunction and the more recently described hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. EXPERT OPINION A thorough understanding of the toxicities associated with CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy will facilitate the optimal selection of patients for this therapy. Furthermore, knowledge of preventative measures of CAR T-cell related complications, and early recognition and appropriate intervention will lead to the safe administration of these therapies, and ultimately improved outcomes for our patients.
