Abstract
Data describing outcomes of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in patients with secondary central nervous system (SCNS) involvement of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are limited. We identified 10 patients with MCL and SCNS involvement treated with anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy at three US academic centres. Frequent objective responses were observed in the CNS (86%) and systemically (90%), and the 1-year progression-free survival was 47%. Seven patients developed immune-effector-cell-associated-neurotoxicity-syndrome (n = 2 Grade 1, n = 5 Grade 3). Our results suggest that anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy in this setting is feasible and additional data regarding neurotoxicity in this population may be warranted.
