In this commentary, we highlight recent studies demonstrating the feasibility and promise of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in treating a number of autoimmune disorders including systemic lupus erythematosus and compare CAR T cells to other therapies aimed at depleting B-lineage cells in treating such diseases.

Purpose: Orvacabtagene autoleucel (orva-cel; JCARH125), a CAR T-cell therapy targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), was evaluated in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients in the EVOLVE phase 1/2 study (NCT03430011). We applied a modified piecewise model to characterize orva-cel transgene kinetics and assessed the impact of various covariates on its pharmacokinetics (PK).

Experimental Design: The population PK analysis included 159 patients from the EVOLVE study.

Purpose Of Review: This paper reviewed the current literature on incidence, clinical manifestations, and risk factors of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) cardiotoxicity.

Recent Findings: CAR-T therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment for hematological malignancies since FDA approval in 2017. CAR-T therapy is however associated with a few side effects, among which cardiotoxicity is of significant concern.

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a human gammaherpesvirus associated with Kaposi's sarcoma and B cell malignancies. Like all herpesviruses, KSHV contains conserved envelope glycoproteins (gps) involved in virus binding, entry, assembly, and release from infected cells, which are also targets of the immune response. Due to the lack of a reproducible animal model of KSHV infection, the precise functions of the KSHV gps during infection are not completely known.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment of hematologic malignancies, achieving remarkable clinical success with FDA-approved therapies targeting CD19 and BCMA. However, the extension of these successes to solid tumors remains limited due to several intrinsic challenges, including antigen heterogeneity and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in CAR T cell therapy aimed at overcoming these obstacles.

Myeloid malignancies include various types of cancers that arise from abnormal development or proliferation of myeloid cells within the bone marrow. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell treatments, which show great potential for B cell and plasma cell cancers, face major challenges when used for myeloid malignancies. CAR natural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapy encounters several challenges in treating myeloid cancers, including: (1) poor gene transfer efficiency and expansion platforms in vitro, (2) limited proliferation and persistence in vivo, (3) antigenic heterogeneity, and (4) an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.
