Outcomes for post-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy (CART) relapse are poor. The utilization of a unique CAR T cell construct for post-CART failure is increasing, but this approach is not well described. In this study, with CART-A the first unique CAR T cell construct received and CART-B the second, the primary objective was to characterize outcomes following CART-B. Secondary objectives included evaluating safety and toxicity with sequential CART infusions; investigating the impact of potential factors, such as antigen modulation and interval therapy, on CART-B response; and characterizing long-term outcomes in patients receiving multiple CARTs. This was a retrospective review (NCT03827343) of children and young adults with B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) undergoing CART therapy who received at least 2 unique CART constructs, excluding interim CART reinfusions of the same product. Of 135 patients, 61 (45.1%) received 2 unique CART constructs, including 13 who received >2 CARTs over time. Patients included in this analysis received 14 distinct CARTs targeting CD19 and/or CD22. The median age at CART-A was 12.6 years (range, 3.3 to 30.4 years). The median time from CART-A to CART-B was 302 days (range, 53 to 1183 days). CART-B targeted a different antigen than CART-A in 48 patients (78.7%), owing primarily to loss of CART-A antigen target. The rate of complete remission (CR) was lower with CART-B (65.5%; 40 of 61) than with CART-A (88.5%; 54 of 61; P = .0043); 35 of 40 (87.5%) CART-B responders had CART-B targeting a different antigen than CART-A. Among the 21 patients with a partial response or nonresponse to CART-B, 8 (38.1%) received CART-B with the same antigen target as CART-A. Of 40 patients with CART-B complete response (CR), 29 (72.5%) relapsed. For the 21 patients with evaluable data, the relapse immunophenotype was antigen in 3 (14.3%), antigen in 7 (33.3%), antigen in 10 (47.6%), and lineage switch in 1 (4.8%). The median relapse-free survival following CART-B CR was 9.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.1 to 13.2 months), and overall survival was 15.0 months (95% CI, 13.0 to 22.7 months). Given the limited salvage options for post-CART relapse, identifying optimizing strategies for CART-B is critical. We raise awareness about the emerging use of CART for post-CART failure and highlight clinical implications accompanying this paradigm shift.

In utero/peripartum antiretroviral therapy (IPA) exposure type was examined in relationship to mental health symptoms among 577 children with perinatally acquired HIV (CPHIV), children perinatally HIV exposed but uninfected (CHEU), and children HIV unexposed uninfected (CHUU). IPA exposure was categorized for CPHIV and CHEU as none, single-dose nevirapine with or without zidovudine (sdNVP±AZT), sdNVP+AZT+lamivudine (3TC), or combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). Anxiety and depressive symptoms were reported at baseline, 6-, and 12-month follow-up per behavioral assessment system for children.

We report the metagenome sequences of two microbial cultures that were grown with chemically deconstructed plastic products as their sole carbon source. These metagenomes will provide insights into the metabolic capabilities of cultures grown on deconstructed plastics and can serve as a starting point for the identification of novel plastic degradation mechanisms.

Patients with hematologic malignancies (HM) have demonstrated impaired immune responses following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Factors associated with poor immunogenicity remain largely undetermined. A literature search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and medRxiv databases to identify studies that reported humoral or cellular immune responses (CIR) following complete SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
