Background: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has been gradually building its position in the treatment of hematological malignancies. Currently, there are three types of autologous anti-CD19 CAR-T cells approved for the treatment of selected relapsed B cell non-Hodgkins lymphomas and acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia in the Czech Republic. Additional clinical trials are ongoing to evaluate CAR-T cell therapy that targets other tumor-specific antigens. It is expected that some of these CAR-T cells will be approved for the treatment of other hemato-oncological dia-gnoses in the near future. Manufacturing and management of CAR-T cell therapy have been optimized. European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation and American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy have updated their recommendations for the management and treatment of early CAR-T cell toxicity based on valuable experience gained during several years. Nevertheless, late toxicity remains an issue. It is crucial for patients undergoing this highly specific therapy to stay in follow-up for several decades. Intensive research and development have been devoted to manufacturing new CAR constructs with higher efficacy and lesser toxicity. A significant improvement in the availability of this, otherwise very expensive treatment, is expected from universal allogeneic T cells that will express CAR binding to tumor-specific antigen.

Purpose: This review is focused on the preparation and administration of autologous CAR-T lymphocytes.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, an emerging personalized immunotherapy for various haematologic malignancies, autoimmune diseases and other conditions, involves the modification of patients' T cells to express a chimeric antigen receptor that recognizes tumour or autoimmune cell antigens, allowing CAR-T cells to destroy cancerous and other target cells selectively. Despite remarkable clinical improvements in patients, multiple adverse effects have been associated with CAR-T cell therapy. Among the most recognized adverse effects are cytokine release syndrome, immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome and tumour lysis syndrome.

Resistance to the currently available treatment paradigms is one of the main factors that contributes to poor outcomes in patients with advanced cervical cancer. Novel targeted therapy approaches might enhance the patient's treatment outcome and are urgently needed for this malignancy. While chimeric-antigen receptor (CAR)-based adoptive immunotherapy displays a promising treatment strategy for liquid cancers, their use against cervical cancer is largely unexplored.

The risk of T cell malignancies after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a concern, although the true incidence remains unclear. Here we analyzed the DESCAR-T registry database, encompassing all pediatric and adult patients with hematologic malignancies who received CAR T cell therapy in France since 1 July 2018. Of the 3,066 patients included (2,536 B cell lymphoma, 162 B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 368 multiple myeloma), 1,680 (54.

Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR T cells) with T stem (T) cell-like phenotypic characteristics promote sustained antitumor effects. We performed an unbiased and automated high-throughput screen of a kinase-focused compound set to identify kinase inhibitors (KIs) that preserve human T cell-like CAR T cells. We identified three KIs, UNC10225387B, UNC10225263A and UNC10112761A, that combined in vitro increased the frequency of CD45RACCR7TCF1 T cell-like CAR T cells from both healthy donors and patients with cancer.
