: The success of CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy for treatment of CD19 positive malignancies has led to the FDA approval of two CD19 CAR-T cell products, tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel, and ongoing clinical trials of new products. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity are common toxicities associated with CD19 CAR-T cell therapies.: This review will discuss CRS and neurotoxicity associated with CD19 CAR-T cell therapies, including clinical presentation, risk factors, pathophysiology, and therapeutic or prophylactic interventions.: In conjunction with improved understanding of the pathophysiology of CRS and neurotoxicity, we expect that the recent development of consensus guidelines for the evaluation of these toxicities will enhance management of patients undergoing CD19 CAR-T cell therapies.

Purpose: Orvacabtagene autoleucel (orva-cel; JCARH125), a CAR T-cell therapy targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), was evaluated in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients in the EVOLVE phase 1/2 study (NCT03430011). We applied a modified piecewise model to characterize orva-cel transgene kinetics and assessed the impact of various covariates on its pharmacokinetics (PK).

Experimental Design: The population PK analysis included 159 patients from the EVOLVE study.

Purpose Of Review: This paper reviewed the current literature on incidence, clinical manifestations, and risk factors of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) cardiotoxicity.

Recent Findings: CAR-T therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment for hematological malignancies since FDA approval in 2017. CAR-T therapy is however associated with a few side effects, among which cardiotoxicity is of significant concern.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment of hematologic malignancies, achieving remarkable clinical success with FDA-approved therapies targeting CD19 and BCMA. However, the extension of these successes to solid tumors remains limited due to several intrinsic challenges, including antigen heterogeneity and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in CAR T cell therapy aimed at overcoming these obstacles.

Myeloid malignancies include various types of cancers that arise from abnormal development or proliferation of myeloid cells within the bone marrow. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell treatments, which show great potential for B cell and plasma cell cancers, face major challenges when used for myeloid malignancies. CAR natural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapy encounters several challenges in treating myeloid cancers, including: (1) poor gene transfer efficiency and expansion platforms in vitro, (2) limited proliferation and persistence in vivo, (3) antigenic heterogeneity, and (4) an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

Background: Mantle cell lymphoma is a diverse B-cell lymphoma with varying clinical behaviors. Treating relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma is challenging, with Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors proving effective but not curative. Post-Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor failure, the prognosis remains unfavorable.
