Prospective Validation of CAR-HEMATOTOX and a simplified version predict Survival in Patients with Large B-Cell Lymphoma treated with anti-CD19 CAR T-cells: data from CART-SIE study.

Background: Anti-CD19 CAR T-cells have revolutionized outcomes in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphomas. Long-term follow-up underscored the role of hematological toxicity in non-relapse mortality, largely driven by infections, leading to the development of the CAR-HEMATOTOX (HT) score for predicting neutropenia. The European scientific community (EHA/EBMT) later reached a consensus, defining a new entity: immune effector cell-associated hematotoxicity (ICAHT).

[Patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a good example of network in care.].

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Success of CAR-T treatment heavily relies on early referral to the CAR-T center, on a short time of infusion of CAR-T cells from the lymphocyte collection and on a reduced burden of disease. Here we describe the case of a patient with diagnosis of High-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL6 rearrangements, transformed from marginal zone lymphoma, referred with a refractory and rapidly progressive disease.

Brexucabtagene autoleucel in-vivo expansion and BTKi refractoriness have a negative influence on progression-free survival in mantle cell lymphoma: Results from CART-SIE study.

Brexucabtagene autoleucel (brexu-cel) has revolutionized the treatment of patients affected by mantle cell lymphomas. In this prospective, observational multicentre study, we evaluated 106 patients, with longitudinal brexu-cel kinetics in peripheral blood monitored in 61 of them. Clinical outcomes and toxicities are consistent with previous real-world evidence studies.

A Multicenter Real-life Prospective Study of Axicabtagene Ciloleucel versus Tisagenlecleucel Toxicity and Outcomes in Large B-cell Lymphomas.

This real-world prospective observational study across 21 Italian centers (CART-SIE) compares axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) and tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) outcomes in 485 patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma with baseline characteristics matched by stabilized inverse propensity score weighting. Axi-cel versus tisa-cel had higher all-grade cytokine release syndrome (78.6% vs.

Secondary primary malignancies after CD-19 directed CAR-T-cell therapy in lymphomas: A report from the Italian CART-SIE study.

Secondary primary malignancies (SPM) have been reported after anti-BCMA or anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapies. While the cytotoxic effect of antecedent therapies, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, has been well established, few data are available on risk related to CAR-T immunotherapies. The study aimed to analyse the incidence of SPM in 651 patients enrolled in the Italian prospective observational CART-SIE study.
