ABSTRACT
@# Chimeric antigen receptor modified T (CAR-T) cell therapy is one of the important methods of tumor immunotherapy. The targeting, killing, proliferation and persistence of CAR-T cells are significantly enhanced than that of conventional T cells.After continuous improvement and evolution, CAR-T cell treatment has achieved excellent progress in hematological tumors and has received extensive attention. However, neurotoxicity arising from the treatment, also known as CAR-T cell relevant encephalopathy syndrome (CRES), has affected its clinical application. Exploring the pathogenesis of CRES and high-risk factors, and finding appropriate strategies is therefore critical for the prevention and treatment of CRES. Here, we take CD19-CAR-T cell treatment as example to review the symptoms and pathogenesis of CRES, discuss high-risk factors as well as coping strategies, in an effort to provide a reference for clinical treatment.
ABSTRACT
@#Chimeric antigen receptor modified T (CAR-T) cell therapy has achieved excellent clinical efficacy in patients with hematological malignancies (especially for patients with CD19 positive), and is regarded as a major advance in cancer therapy in recent years. It aroused scientists’strong interest in developing CAR-T cell products for the treatment of cancers. However, there are still some problems in the treatment of CAR-T cells. For examples, some patients lose the opportunity of CAR-T cell therapy while waiting for CAR-T cell culture, some unique adverse events during treatment of CAR-T cell therapy may endanger the patients’life, and the efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy is unsatisfactory on solid tumors. Even for hematological malignancies, some patients will eventually relapse and lead to treatment failure. Therefore, exploring methods to improve the efficacy, diagnosis the unique adverse events of CAR-T cell therapy early and give appropriately management, expand potentially benefiting populations of CAR-T cell therapy are issues that need to be addressed in current CAR-T cell therapy research.
ABSTRACT
@# Due to the long-lasting, scalable, multi-targeting characteristics of T-cell immunity, T-cell-based tumor immunotherapy is considered to be the most likely means of bringing about tumor healing in addition to surgery. Especially in recent years, accumulating clinical data have confirmed the safety and effectiveness of cell therapy represented by chimeric antigen receptor modified T (CAR-T) cell. Among these, CAR-T therapy targeting CD19 has become a model therapy for genetic modified T cell therapy research in most institutions because of its remarkable effects. However, both practice and theory have suggested that CAR-T therapy faces more complicated problems in the treatment of solid tumors. How to use CAR-T cells to treat solid tumors reasonably and effectively still requires constant exploration and understanding. Here, we briefly summarize the current status of clinical practice of CAR-T cell therapy and its treatment of solid tumors, propose problems that need to be solved, and discuss the future research directions, in order to provide reference and research ideas for the treatment of solid tumors by CAR-T cells.
ABSTRACT
Osteosarcoma( OS) is one common type of bone malignancy. Conventional treatments improved survival dramatically. However, conventional therapies have a few effects on patients with metastatic disease. Targeting os-teosarcoma-associated antigen, chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cell( CAR-T) therapy may promote efficacy of treatment. Specific CAR-T treatments of osteosarcoma including targeting HER-2, IL-11Rα, ROR1 and GD2 have shown a certain therapeutic effect on osteosarcoma in some basic and clinical studies.
