Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Collaborative efforts are underway to harmonize the definition and grading of CRS to allow for better interpretation of toxicities across CAR-T products and clinical trials and allow for informed management algorithms.

187 citations



Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is found that CPI use both before and after allo-HSCT can be highly effective, but exposure can lead to a significantly increased risk of GVHD-related morbidity and mortality in this patient population.

125 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Advice is provided from experts in the fields of hematopoietic cell transplantation, cellular immunotherapy, and lymphoma regarding key clinical questions pertinent to the utilization of CD19 CAR T for the treatment of NHL.

114 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The latest studies reporting VOD/SOS risk factors support previously published data, although the importance of patient-related factors, such as acute kidney injury, increased international normalized ratio, female sex (in children), and platelet refractoriness, is given greater emphasis in the recent data.

103 citations



Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is suggested that haplo-BMT with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide and thiotepa improves donor engraftment without significantly increasing morbidity or mortality and could dramatically expand curative options for individuals with SCD.

94 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: An initial roadmap for navigating common clinical practice scenarios that will become more prevalent now that the first commercially available CAR-T product for B-ALL has been approved is presented.

85 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: HSCT is confirmed as an effective treatment for CALD when performed early, and survival without MFDs is proposed as a relevant treatment goal, rather than solely assessing OS as an indicator of treatment success.

78 citations






Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The data indicate that patients with higher baseline disease burden have more severe CRS, and that CAR-T cell therapy is associated with lymphoma pseudoprogression and local immune activation.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Corticosteroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease (SR-GVHD) remains a significant source of morbidity after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, and the role of continuing prophylactic antimicrobial measures in ruxolitinib-treated GVHD patients is supported.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The data support the use of ruxolitinib for cGVHD refractory to steroids and currently available salvage therapies, discontinued due to lack of response and high cost.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: An electronic survey on the current administrative, logistic, and toxicity management practices of CAR T cell therapy across the United States is conducted to gain insight into the infrastructure and practices across the country.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Haplo/PTCy-based approaches are associated with lower incidences of cGVHD and relapse, with PFS and OS outcomes comparable with MSD/CNI-based approach.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is suggested that MAC should still be used for younger individuals suitable for such an approach due to a trend towards less relapse and an overall suggested advantage of improved GRFS; albeit this should be examined in a more homogeneous cohort.



Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this pretreated, high-risk population, clinically meaningful benefit and an acceptable safety profile was observed with additional follow-up for ibrutinib, demonstrating a substantial advance in the therapeutic management of patients with cGVHD.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This manuscript reviews possible mechanisms of treatment failures and, based on the timing of relapse, considers potential salvage therapies and opportunities for future clinical studies.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This review provides an overview of the incorporation of PROs in CAR-T cell therapy and the specific challenges in this context and recommends frequent monitoring ofPROs in the first year to identify potential late effects like cognitive deficit or autoimmune manifestations.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Most recipients of haplo PBT develop CRS, but less than 20% experience severe complications, and the development of severe CRS significantly increases NRM.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Evaluated the off-label use of vedolizumab, a gut-selective immunomodulator, for treating steroid-refractory gastrointestinal (GI) acute GVHD (aGVHD) in patients with hematologic malignancies and found an overall response rate of 64%, overall survival (OS), and serious adverse effects (SAEs) of 54%.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The data suggest that blinatumomab is an effective salvage therapy in this patient population of adults with relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT).

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is concluded that TA-TMA is a heterogenous disease that occurs after allogeneic transplantation and management with immunosuppressant withdrawal does not impact patient outcomes, and management of TA- TMA should focus on the treatment of underlying diseases.
