The CAR‐HEMATOTOX score identifies patients at high risk for hematological toxicity, infectious complications, and poor treatment outcomes following brexucabtagene autoleucel for relapsed or refractory MCL

Abstract: CD19‐directed CAR T‐cell therapy with brexucabtagene autoleucel (brexu‐cel) has substantially improved treatment outcomes for patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (r/r MCL). Prolonged cytopenias and infections represent common and clinically relevant side effects. In this multicenter observational study, we describe cytopenias and infections in 103 r/r MCL patients receiving brexu‐cel. Furthermore, we report associations between the baseline CAR‐HEMATOTOX (HT) score and toxicity events, non‐r… Show more

“…The HEMATOTOX (HT) score has been shown to delineate those at higher risk of NRM, severe infections, and haematotoxicity post-brexu-cel. 17 In our analysis, risk factors for NRM included older age, male sex, LDH > ULN, and severe or life-threatening infection with 1 month of infusion. The excess of late NRM events (>90 days, 58%) is of concern, F I G U R E 6 (A, B) Progression-free survival outcome (A) and overall survival outcome (B) for all patients harvested with/without manufacturing failure.…”

“… 14 , 15 , 16 Disease‐specific features associated with an inferior PFS include high simplified MIPI score, 15 , 16 Ki‐67 ≥ 50%, complex karyotype, TP53 aberration, and blastoid/pleomorphic variant. 16 However, rates of non‐relapse mortality (NRM) are significantly higher in the real‐world relative to ZUMA‐2 (3%), ranging from 9% to 15%, 15 , 16 , 17 with a signal for late fatal infectious events. Identification of those most likely to benefit and an understanding of late toxicities are key to appropriate patient selection and tailored care post‐infusion.…”

“…The grading system for early ICAHT ( Table 1 ) was applied to a real-world cohort of 549 patients treated with BCMA- or CD19-directed CAR T-cells for relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies (112 MM, 334 LBCL, and 103 MCL) across 12 international CAR-T centers ( supplementary Methods ). 18 , 19 , 25 A uniform data collection form with an embedded data dictionary was provided to all participating centers by the coordinating center (LMU Munich), along with an example of guidelines for data collection. All sites returned data to the coordinating center.…”

“… 15 , 27 Infections were studied until day +90 after CAR-T infusion and were graded on a 5-grade scale as mild, moderate, severe, life-threatening, or fatal. 15 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 28 Severe infections (grade 3 or higher) were defined as requiring intravenous anti-infective therapy and/or hospitalization. Infectious events were either characterized based on microbiologic or histopathologic data or as a clinical syndrome of infection (eg, pneumonia, cellulitis, cystitis) based on retrospective chart review.…”
