Abstract
The tremendous success of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells in children and young adults (CAYAs) with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is tempered by toxicities such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Despite expansive information about CRS, profiling of specific end-organ toxicities secondary to CAR T-cell therapy in CAYAs is limited. This retrospective, single-center study sought to characterize end-organ specific adverse events (AEs) experienced by CAYAs during the first 30 days after CAR T-cell infusion. AEs graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events were retrospectively analyzed for 134 patients enrolled in 1 of 3 phase 1 CAR T-cell trials (NCT01593696, NCT02315612, and NCT03448393), targeting CD19 and/or CD22. A total of 133 patients (99.3%) experienced at least 1 grade ≥3 (≥Gr3) AE across 17 organ systems, of which 75 (4.4%) were considered dose- or treatment-limiting toxicities. Excluding cytopenias, 109 patients (81.3%) experienced a median of 3 ≥Gr3 noncytopenia (NC) AEs. The incidence of ≥Gr3 NC AEs was associated with the development and severity of CRS as well as preinfusion disease burden (≥ 25% marrow blasts). Although those with complete remission trended toward experiencing more ≥Gr3 NC AEs than nonresponders (median, 4 vs 3), nonresponders experiencing CRS (n = 17; 37.8%) had the highest degree of NC AEs across all patients (median, 7 vs 4 in responders experiencing CRS). Greater understanding of these toxicities and the ability to predict which patients may experience more toxicities is critical as the array of CAR T-cell therapies expand. This retrospective study was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03827343.

Admission Clinical and EEG Features Associated With Mortality and Long-term Neurologic and Cognitive Outcomes in Pediatric Cerebral Malaria. Neurology 2023; 101:e1307-e1318.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES For children with cerebral malaria, mortality is high, and in survivors, long-term neurologic and cognitive dysfunctions are common. While specific clinical factors are associated with death or long-term neurocognitive morbidity in cerebral malaria, the association of EEG features with these outcomes, particularly neurocognitive outcomes, is less well characterized. METHODS In this prospective cohort study of 149 children age 6 months to 12 years who survived cerebral malaria in Kampala, Uganda, we evaluated whether depth of coma, number of clinical seizures, or EEG features during hospitalization were associated with mortality during hospitalization, short-term and long-term neurologic deficits, or long-term cognitive outcomes (overall cognition, attention, memory) over the 2-year follow-up. RESULTS Higher Blantyre or Glasgow Coma Scores (BCS and GCS, respectively), higher background voltage, and presence of normal reactivity on EEG were each associated with lower mortality. Among clinical and EEG features, the presence of >4 seizures on admission had the best combination of negative and positive predictive values for neurologic deficits in follow-up. In multivariable modeling of cognitive outcomes, the number of seizures and specific EEG features showed independent association with better outcomes. In children younger than 5 years throughout the study, seizure number and presence of vertex sharp waves were independently associated with better posthospitalization cognitive performance, faster dominant frequency with better attention, and higher average background voltage and faster dominant background frequency with better associative memory. In children younger than 5 years at CM episode but 5 years or older at cognitive testing, seizure number, background dominant frequency, and the presence of vertex sharp waves were each associated with changes in cognition, seizure number and variability with attention, and seizure number with working memory. DISCUSSION In children with cerebral malaria, seizure number is strongly associated with the risk of long-term neurologic deficits, while seizure number and specific EEG features (average background voltage, dominant rhythm frequency, presence of vertex sharp waves, presence of variability) are independently associated with cognitive outcomes. Future studies should evaluate the predictive value of these findings.
