...Though lymphodepletion is an important part of the CAR T-cell treatment process, reduction of endogenous lymphocyte levels and subsequent CAR T-cell expansion may have implications for salvage therapy after failure of CAR T-cell therapy, as these processes modify the characteristics of patients’ T cells [87]....

...Systemic corticosteroid administration rapidly reversed symptoms in most cases (Davila et al, 2014; Lee et al, 2015), but, can result in ablation of the infused CAR T cells, thus limiting the anti-tumoral effect (Davila et al, 2014)....
