Background: While chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is becoming widely used in hematological malignancies with remarkable remission rate, their high recurrence remains an obstacle to overcome. The role of consolidative transplantation following CAR-T cell-mediated remission remains controversial. We conducted a retrospective study to explore whether bridging to unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) could improve the prognosis of patients entering remission after CAR-T therapy with different characteristics through subgroup analyses.

Article Synopsis
  • CD19-specific CAR-T therapy has shown effectiveness in treating relapsed/refractory B-ALL, but some patients experience therapy resistance or relapse.
  • Higher levels of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in patients before treatment are linked to poorer survival outcomes, indicating Tregs may play a role in treatment efficacy.
  • A study analyzing Treg levels in 46 patients during different stages of CAR-T therapy found that Treg frequencies were notably higher in patients not in remission compared to those who achieved remission.

CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CD19 CAR T) therapy has shown high remission rates in patients with refractory/relapsed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r B-ALL). However, the long-term outcome and the factors that influence the efficacy need further exploration. Here we report the outcome of 51 r/r B-ALL patients from a non-randomized, Phase II clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.
