Timing of Toxicities and Mortality Following CAR T Therapy in Myeloma

Al-Ola A Abdallah, Plasma Cell Disorder Program Director, Division of HMCT/University of Kansas Medical Center, shared a post on X:

“Timing of Toxicities and Non-Relapse Mortality Following Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T Therapy in Myeloma by the Nausheen Ahmed, KU Cancer Center.

Things to Know:

New-onset Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS)/Immune effector Cell–Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS) are rare after 2 weeks from Idecabtagene Vicleucel
and Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel infusion.
Early Non Relapse Mortality (NRM), <30 days is driven by Immune E-associated HLH-like Syndrome (IEC-HS) and infection.
Late NRM (30-90 days) is driven by infection.
Flexible Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) monitoring period partnering with local oncologists may be safe.”
