CAR T-Cell Therapy for Rheumatic Diseases: What Does the Future Hold?

BioDrugs

December 2024

Rheumatology Department, Strasbourg University Hospital, 1 Avenue Molière, 67000, Strasbourg, France.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, initially successful in treating hematological malignancies, is emerging as a potential treatment for autoimmune diseases, including rheumatic conditions. CAR T cells, engineered to target and eliminate autoreactive B cells, offer a novel approach to managing diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), and inflammatory myopathies, where B cells play a pivotal role in disease pathology. Early case reports have demonstrated promising results, with patients achieving significant disease remission, normalization of serological markers, and the ability to discontinue traditional immunosuppressive therapies, which supported the initiation of several clinical trials.

Purpose: Chordoma, a rare malignancy of the axial skeleton and skull base, presents significant therapeutic challenges due to the high rates of tumor recurrence and resistance. While surgical resection and radiation therapy remain the gold standard of treatment, the lack of additional treatment options necessitates the exploration of novel therapies. Combinatorial therapies hold significant potential in shaping patient prognosis.

Introduction: Posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has revolutionized the landscape of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haplo-HCT), providing a pivotal therapeutic option for patients with hematological malignancies who lack an HLA-matched donor.

Methods: In this retrospective analysis involving 54 adult patients undergoing PTCy-based haplo-HCT, we evaluated the impact of inhibitory killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR)/HLA mismatch, alongside patient, donor, and transplant factors, on clinical outcomes within a homogeneous cohort characterized by a myeloablative conditioning regimen and bone marrow graft.

Results: With a median follow-up of 73.

Platelets are essential for blood clotting and maintaining normal hemostasis. In pathological conditions, platelets are increasingly recognized as crucial regulatory factors in various immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Resting platelets are induced by various factors such as immune complexes through Fc receptors, platelet-targeting autoantibodies and other platelet-activating stimuli.

Background: Tumor-derived exosomes are involved in tumor progression and immune invasion and might function as promising noninvasive approaches for clinical management. However, there are few reports on exosom-based markers for predicting the progression and adjuvant therapy response rate among patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

Methods: The signatures differentially expressed in exosomes from tumor and normal tissues from ccRCC patients were correspondingly deregulated in ccRCC tissues.
