Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting CD19 have changed the treatment landscape of patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Infections are one of the most frequent complications after CAR T-cell therapy. Most of these infections are bacterial, although viral infections can also occur in this setting. Adenovirus-induced hemorrhagic cystitis is a rare infectious complication and is usually observed after bone marrow or solid organ transplantation. Herein we report a case of adenovirus-induced hemorrhagic cystitis in a patient experiencing urinary symptoms within the first month after CAR T-cell infusion. Based on our experience and a literature review, we discuss the diagnostic approach and potential treatment options for this infrequent infection after CAR T-cell therapy.

Article Synopsis
  • Oncolytic adenoviruses are being studied for their ability to kill cancer cells and modulate the immune response, but their potential immunosuppressive effects need further investigation.
  • This study shows that type V adenoviruses can change the behavior of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and increase regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumor microenvironment, which can hinder immune responses against tumors.
  • Thymosin alpha 1 (Tα1) can reprogram these macrophages to support anti-tumor activity and enhance the effectiveness of the adenovirus in fighting cancer, indicating a promising direction for future cancer therapies.

Oncolytic viruses often face challenges in achieving optimal antitumor immunity as standalone therapies. The penton base RGD-integrin interactions play a significant role in wild-type adenovirus-induced innate immune responses. To modify these responses, we present ISC301, a novel oncolytic adenovirus engineered by deleting the natural RGD motifs in the penton base while incorporating artificial RGD motifs in the fiber knobs.
