Abstract
AbstractChimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies, but it comes with unique toxicities, notably cytokine release syndrome and ICANS (immune effector cell–associated neurotoxicity syndrome). As experience with CAR T-cell therapy grows, distinct and infrequent neurologic complications are becoming increasingly evident. Recently, reports of acute myelopathy after the administration of CAR T-cell therapies have been accumulating. Despite the establishment of consensus guidelines for managing ICANS, there remains limited guidance on the appropriate investigations and treatments for this rare complication. In this manuscript, we delve into the clinical features, pathophysiology, and strategies for the optimal management of acute myelitis after CAR T-cell therapy and draw insights from reported cases in the literature.
