ISIKOK-19 CAR T Cell in ALL with Extramedullary Disease (EHA-EBMT-CART 2023)
Product characterization, in vivo expansion, and persistence of CAR-T were published before (Erdogan et al, 2022).After a cyclophosphamide/fludarabine-containing lymphodepletion regimen, ISIKOK-19 CAR-T therapy was applied in three fractionated doses...P1 and P2 who had grade 2 CRS needed tocilizumab treatment. Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) was observed only in P4 as grade 2 and this patient recovered after dexamethasone treatment. Besides CRS and ICANS, P4 had hemolytic anemia in the 4th month of CAR-T therapy and recovered after daratumumab treatment.CAR-T was still detected in peripheral blood and CSF in P3 and P4 at 5 months and 6 months, subsequently... In conclusion, the administration of ISIKOK-19 CAR-T therapy in this small patient group with EMD achieved safety and efficacy outcomes. These preliminary results make us believe that ISIKOK-19 CAR-T constitutes a potential therapeutic option in such a high unmet medical need.
