Cytokine Release Syndrome after Haploidentical Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: An International Multi-Center Collaboration

Severe Cytokine Release Syndrome Associated with Worse Outcomes in Recipients of a Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplant

Risk Factors for the Development of and Outcomes of Patients Who Develop Severe Cytokine Release Syndrome after Peripheral Blood Haploidentical Donor Transplant

9072 Background: Osi is a 1L therapy for EGFR mutant lung cancer based on the results of the FLAURA clinical trial. Patients on clinical trial are typically highly selected and the overall effectiveness of therapies may be lower in the real-world setting. We report the real-world outcomes of patients treated with first line osi and compare the outcomes of trial eligible and ineligible patients. Methods: Pharmacy records from January 2020 to October 2022 were used to retrospectively identify patients who received 1L osi for advanced EGFR mutant (exon 19 del. or exon 21 L858R) lung cancer in British Columbia, Canada. Patients were deemed ineligible for the FLAURA trial if they met one of five criteria: ECOG ³2, unstable brain metastases (symptomatic or on steroids), hemoglobin <90, platelet <100, or creatinine clearance <50. Comparisons of overall survival (OS) and time to treatment discontinuation (TTD) were made between using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank testing. Hazard ratios (HR) are reported using Cox regression adjusting for baseline factors (Table). Results: Of 312 patients included, 133 (43%) were considered FLAURA-ineligible. Reasons for ineligibility were poor ECOG (n=120 [including ECOG 2=69, ECOG 3=48, and ECOG 4=4]), unstable brain metastases (n=21), anemia (n=7), thrombocytopenia (n=5), and low creatinine clearance (n=9). Median follow up was 22.7 months. At the time of analysis, 103/133 (77%) of ineligible patients had discontinued osi and 87/133 (65%) had died. 82/179 (45%) of eligible patients had discontinued osi and 53/179 (30%) were deceased. The median TTD in the ineligible group was 11.9 months (95% CI 10.5-15.5) vs 26.9 months (95% CI 21.9- 34.6) in the eligible group (p<0.001), HR 2.1 (95% CI 1.5-2.9, p<0.001). The median OS in the ineligible group was 15.8 months (95% CI 12.4 to 21.1) vs NR [not reached] (95%CI 28.5 to NR) in the eligible group (p<0.001), HR 2.6 (95% CI 1.8-3.7, p<0.001). Rates of dose reduction for toxicity were similar between ineligible (25%) and eligible (19%) patients (p=0.25). Second-line therapy was received by 28/102 (27%) of trial ineligible patients and 46/82 (56%) of trial eligible patients. Conclusions: Over 40% of the real-world population receiving 1L osi would have been ineligible for the FLAURA clinical trial. These patients had significantly inferior outcomes. This study provides benchmark data to better inform patient prognosis using real-world data. [Table: see text]

Objective: To analyze the incidence of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and its impact on the prognosis of patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) following treatment with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. Methods: A retrospective collection was conducted of the clinical data of 91 patients with RRMM who underwent CAR-T therapy at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2020 to October 2022. Before CAR-T cell infusion, the patient underwent pretreatment with the fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide (FC) regimen. On day 0 (d0), the patient received a dose of 1×106 cells/kg of CAR-T. The occurrence of CRS was recorded post-treatment and graded accordingly, with grades 1 to 2 indicating mild CRS and grade≥3 indicating severe CRS. The follow-up cut-off date was February 14, 2023, with a median follow-up time [M (Q1, Q3)] of 14.1 (3.1, 37.7) months. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis assessed the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of Grade 1 and Grade 2 CRS patients. Furthermore, univariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with the development of severe CRS. Results: In a cohort of 91 patients diagnosed with RRMM, there were 51 male and 40 female individuals, with a median age [M (Q1,Q3)] of 57 (31, 73) years. All 91 cases (100%) experienced CRS, with 82 cases (90%) classified as mild (grades 1-2) CRS and 9 cases (10%) classified as severe (grades 3-5) CRS. In a study involving 9 patients with severe CRS, 8 cases resulted in mortality. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis revealed that among grade 1 CRS patients, neither the median PFS nor the median OS was achieved. For grade 2 CRS patients, the median PFS was 12 months (95%CI: 4-not achieved), and the median OS was 21 months (95%CI: 4-not achieved). The progression-free survival and overall survival rates of grade 2 CRS patients were both lower than those of grade 1 CRS patients (both P<0.05). Single-factor logistic regression analysis revealed that a high tumor burden (OR=1.025, 95%CI: 1.002-1.049, P=0.031), a prolonged duration of CRS onset (OR=0.809, 95%CI: 0.646-0.971, P=0.037) and persistence (OR=1.758, 95%CI: 1.349-2.481, P=0.001) were identified as significant factors associated with severe CRS in patients with RRMM. Conclusions: Patients with RRMM who undergoes CAR-T therapy have a high incidence of CRS, with a higher mortality rate among those experiencing severe CRS. Furthermore, patients with grade 2 CRS exhibit lower rates of progression-free survival and overall survival compared to those with grade 1 CRS. Factors associated with the development of severe CRS in RRMM patients include high tumor burden and prolonged duration and onset of CRS.

A Phase II Study of Prophylactic Anakinra to Prevent CRS and Neurotoxicity in Patients Receiving CD19 CAR T Cell Therapy for Relapsed or Refractory Lymphoma

Biomarkers Accurately Predict Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) after Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cell Therapy for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

7532 Background: CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor-engineered (CD19 CAR) T cells achieve high response rates in patients (pts) with relapsed or refractory (R/R) aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), but are limited by cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Pivotal trial data suggested distinct toxicity risks across CD19 CAR T-cell products, but differences in pt and disease characteristics may have confounded these observations. Thus, we assessed the independent impact of 3 CD19 CAR T-cell products (axicabtagene ciloleucel[axicel], tisagenlecleucel [tisacel], and JCAR014) on CRS and ICANS severity in 136 pts with R/R aggressive NHL. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed aggressive NHL pts treated at our institutions with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine lymphodepletion (LD) followed by CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. Axicel and tisacel pts were treated off trial using commercial products. JCAR014 (defined-composition 4-1BB-costimulated CD19 CAR T cells) was administered in all pts at the dose of 2x106/kg on a phase I/II clinical trial (NCT01865617). CRS and ICANS were graded according to the ASTCT criteria and CTCAE 4.03, respectively. We used multivariable proportional odds logistic regression to model CRS and ICANS grade. Results: The CAR T-cell product was axicel, tisacel, or JCAR014 in 50%, 28%, and 22% of pts, respectively. Compared to axicel pts, we observed higher preLD LDH levels in tisacel and JCAR014 pts, and lower preLD albumin with tisacel (p &lt; 0.001) with comparable age and hematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity (HCT-CI) indexes across CAR T-cell products. Higher day-28 overall response rate by Lugano criteria was observed after axicel (71%) compared to tisacel (56%) and JCAR014 (53%). Adjusting for age, HCT-CI, preLD LDH, preLD albumin, CAR T-cell product type was associated with CRS severity (tisacel versus [vs] axicel, OR = 0.45, p = 0.05; JCAR014 vs axicel, OR = 0.29, p = 0.005;). Age had limited or no impact on CRS severity (OR 95%CI, 0.97-1.02), while the effect of HCT-CI was undetermined (OR 95%CI, 0.85-1.27). In a multivariable model including the same covariates as above, CAR T-cell product type (tisacel vs axicel, OR =.14, p &lt;.001; JCAR014 vs axicel, OR = 0.31, p = 0.009), preLD LDH (OR, 3.96 per log10 increase; p = 0.04) and age (OR per 10-year increase, 1.32; p =.06) were associated with ICANS severity. Interaction effect testing suggested effect modification of age by the CAR T-cell product type (tisacel/JCAR014 versus axicel, p = 0.06); using a multivariable model including this interaction term, the predicted probabilities of grade ≥3 ICANS in a 70 year-old after axicel, tisacel, and JCAR014 were 40%, 6%, and 8%, respectively. Conclusions: CAR T-cell product type independently impacts CRS and ICANS severity in NHL pts. Our findings provide key insights to guide patient and CAR T-cell product selection.
