Chimeric antigen receptor T (CART) cells are a promising immunotherapy that has induced dramatic anti-tumor responses in certain B cell malignancies. However, CART cell expansion and trafficking are often insufficient to yield long-term remissions, and serious toxicities can arise after CART cell administration. Visualizing CART cell expansion and trafficking in patients can detect an inadequate CART cell response or serve as an early warning for toxicity development, allowing CART cell treatment to be tailored accordingly to maximize therapeutic benefits. To this end, various imaging platforms are being developed to track CART cells , including nonspecific strategies to image activated T cells and reporter systems to specifically detect engineered T cells. Many of these platforms are clinically applicable and hold promise to provide valuable information and guide improved CART cell treatment.

Cell-based therapies have become integral to the routine clinical management of hematologic malignancies. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy has demonstrated efficacy in immunogenic solid tumors, such as melanoma. However, in the GI field, evidence supporting the clinical success of cell-based therapies is still awaited.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies have revolutionized the landscape of cancer treatment, in particular in the context of hematologic malignancies. However, for solid tumors that lack tumor-specific antigens, CAR-T cells can infiltrate and attack nonmalignant tissues expressing the CAR target antigen, leading to on-target, off-tumor toxicity. Severe on-target, off-tumor toxicities have been observed in clinical trials of CAR-T therapy for solid tumors, highlighting the need to address this issue.

CD30-directed CART cell therapy (CART30) has limited efficacy in relapsed or refractory patients with CD30+ lymphoma, with a low proportion of durable responses. We have developed an academic CART30 cell product (HSP-CAR30) by combining strategies to improve performance. HSP-CAR30 targets a proximal epitope within the non-soluble part of CD30, and the manufacturing process includes a modulation of ex vivo T cell activation, as well as the addition of interleukin-21 to IL-7 and IL-15 to promote stemness of T cells.

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.

CAR-T therapy (chimeric antigen receptor T-cell) has revolutionized the prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that have relapsed or are refractory to conventional chemotherapies. In particular, patients who have relapsed or are refractory to two lines of therapy are patients who have a poor prognosis. The advent of CAR-T immunotherapy is an innovative approach with which we can give hope of recovery even in the case of refractory disease, even for patients who are not candidates for high-dose therapies, for example due to age.
