Comparison of Efficacy and Toxicity of CD19-Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cells Alone or in Combination with Ibrutinib for Relapsed and/or Refractory CLL (ASH 2018) - P1/2; "Methods We conducted a phase 1/2 study of CD19 CAR-T cell immunotherapy in R/R CLL pts and established a regimen of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine (Cy/Flu) lymphodepletion followed by JCAR014 at 2 x 106 CAR-T cells/kg (Turtle, JCO 2017). Conclusion Administration of ibrutinib from 2 weeks before leukapheresis until 3 months after JCAR014 was well tolerated in most pts. This approach might decrease the incidence of severe CRS and improve responses in pts with R/R CLL."

Endothelial Activation and Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption in Neurotoxicity after CD19 CAR-T Cell Immunotherapy (ASH 2017) - P1/2; "We also investigated whether pts with pre-existing endothelial activation were at higher risk of NT. Before lymphodepletion, pts who developed gr ≥4 NT had higher Ang-2:Ang-1 ratios than those with gr ≤3 NT, indicating that endothelial activation before lymphodepletion or CAR-T cell infusion may be a risk factor for NT that identifies pts who would benefit from a modified treatment regimen."

Starting T Cell and Cell Product Phenotype Are Associated with Durable Remission of Leukemia Following CD19 CAR-T Cell Immunotherapy (ASH 2018) - P1/2; "The combination of elevated frequency of cells expressing LAG-3 and a reduced capacity to secrete cytokines in response to stimulation potential serve as biomarkers for patients with perturbated T cell repertoires that generate CAR T cell products with attenuated anti-leukemic potency. The parameters identified herein, should they be validated in larger trial cohorts, have the potential to prospectively identify patients at risk for initial therapeutic failure thus requiring alternative therapies from those who have an excellent prognosis."
