Background: Teclistamab (Tec), a first-in-class BCMA bispecific T-cell antibody, received regulatory approval for the treatment of RRMM based on the MajesTEC-1 study [Moreau et al, NEJM, 2022] which demonstrated an overall response rate (ORR) of 63% and median progression free survival (PFS) of 11.3 months. However, less than 15% (N=24) of patients (pts) enrolled in MajestTEC-1 were ≥75 years, an age cohort that is often underrepresented in clinical trials and comprises approximately one third of MM pts at diagnosis [SEER 22 2017-2021]. In this multicenter retrospective study, we report the real-world safety and efficacy of a large cohort of elderly (≥75 years) RRMM pts treated with Tec. Methods: Pts with RRMM who received standard-of-care Tec across 13 U.S. academic institutions were included in the study. The follow-up data cutoff was 30 April 2024. Pts were divided by age into two groups: age <75 years (<75 group) and age ≥75 years (≥75 group). High-risk cytogenetic abnormalities (HRCA) were defined as the presence of del(17p), t(4;14), t(14;16) and/or gain or amplification of 1q21. Disease response and progression was evaluated using IMWG criteria. Time-to-event analyses were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) assessment was based on the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy consensus grading. Results: Among 385 pts, 83 (22%) were in the ≥75 group (median age 78, range 75-92) and 302 (78%) in the <75 group (median age 65, range 31-74). Compared to pts in the <75 group, those in the ≥75 group were more often white (78% vs. 63%, p=0.009). Both the ≥75 and <75 age groups had a median of 6 prior lines of therapy, a similar proportion with ECOG ≥2 at start of Tec (29% vs. 24%, respectively; p=0.37), and a high proportion of pts with triple-class-refractory disease (77% vs. 85%, p=0.06) and pts who would have been ineligible MajesTEC-1 (73% vs. 80%, p=0.20). In contrast, pts in the ≥75 group had a lower incidence of adverse MM risk factors compared to the <75 group, including HRCA (44.6% vs. 57.9%, p=0.03), ultra high-risk (≥2 HRCA) MM (12% vs. 24%, p=0.02), extramedullary disease (22% vs. 40%, p=0.02), hemoglobin <8 g/dL (10% vs. 21%, p=0.02) or albumin <3 g/dL (6% vs. 19%, p=0.04) at the time of starting Tec. Moreover, a lower proportion of pts in the ≥75 group had prior autologous stem cell transplantation (43% vs. 72%, p<0.0001) or prior BCMA-directed therapy (33% vs. 55%, p=0.0003). The median time from diagnosis to start of Tec was longer for pts in the ≥75 group (7.21 years vs. 5.81 years, p=0.02). There was no significant difference in rates of any-grade CRS (52% vs. 59%, p=0.27), CRS grade 2-4 (10% vs. 11%, p=0.74) or any-grade ICANS (19% vs. 13%, p=0.12) between the ≥75 and <75 age groups, respectively. Four pts in the entire cohort developed CRS grade 3-4, one of whom was in the ≥75 group. Ten pts developed grade 3 ICANS (none grade 4), three of whom were in the ≥75 group. There was no significant difference between the ≥75 group and <75 group in ORR (62% vs. 53%, p=0.17) and ≥very good partial response (VGPR) rate (53% vs. 44%, p=0.14). After a median follow-up period of 9.9 months (95% CI 9.6-10.6 months), the median PFS in the ≥75 group was 10.7 months (95% CI 6.6-NR) vs. 5.2 months (95% CI 6.6-NR) in the <75 group (p=0.005). At the time of data cut-off, the median overall survival (OS) for pts in the ≥75 group had not been reached (95% CI NR - NR) compared to 16.1 months (95% CI 14.0 - NR) in the <75 group (p=0.048). In multivariable analysis for the entire cohort, age ≥75 was not significantly associated with either PFS (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.54-1.39; p=0.55) or OS (HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.30-1.19; p=0.15). Conclusions: This analysis of a large cohort of RRMM pts treated with Tec in the real-world setting demonstrates comparable efficacy and safety outcomes in elderly (aged ≥75 years) pts to those reported in the overall study population of MajesTEC-1. The adverse baseline disease characteristics and inferior efficacy in pts <75 years age compared to ≥75 years likely reflect patient selection and prescribing patterns in the early era of access to commercial BCMA bispecific therapy with Tec. In multivariable analysis there was no significant impact of age ≥75 on survival outcomes. OP, DD & LF: co-first authors. KKP, HCL & AGC: co-senior authors

Introduction. Ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) and idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel), two anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CAR T therapies, have demonstrated remarkable responses and improved survival among patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in the clinical trials and standard of care (SOC) setting. Here, we compare safety, efficacy, and survival for patients treated with SOC ide-cel and cilta-cel. Methods. Data were from a retrospective chart review of RRMM patients leukapheresed by 12/31/2022 with the intent to receive SOC ide- or cilta-cel at 19 institutions in the US Multiple Myeloma Immunotherapy Consortium. An inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) approach was used to compare outcomes by therapy type (cilta- vs. ide-cel), balancing on age, sex, race and ethnicity, performance status, extramedullary disease, high-risk cytogenetics, prior BCMA therapy, bone marrow plasma cells, penta-refractory status, lymphodepleting chemotherapy, baseline ferritin, low cell dose, and bridging therapy response. Logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the association of treatment type with safety, efficacy, and survival accordingly, while adjusting for IPTW weights. We employed propensity score matching utilizing the same covariates to identify the association of treatment type with progression-free survival (PFS) within relevant patient sub-groups. Results. A total of 641 patients were leukapheresed by 12/31/2022 with ide-cel (n=386) and cilta-cel (n=255). 586 patients were infused (n=350 for ide-cel; n=236 for cilta-cel) with a median follow-up of 13.0 and 12.6 months, respectively. After IPTW, patient characteristics were well-balanced. Patients treated with cilta-cel were more likely to have grade ≥ 3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) (OR=5.52, 95% CI=1.76-17.30, p=0.004), infections (OR=2.07, 95% CI=1.44-2.97, p<0.001), and delayed neurotoxicity (NT) (OR=20.97, 95% CI=4.75-92.42, p<0.001) compared to patients treated with ide-cel. In the cilta-cel cohort, 24 patients (10%) experienced delayed NT compared to 2 patients (1%) in the ide-cel cohort. Although not statistically significant, patients treated with cilta-cel were more likely to have any second primary malignancies (SPMs) (OR=1.87, 95% CI=0.94-3.71, p=0.08) and any SPMs excluding non-melanoma skin cancers (OR=1.78, 95% CI=0.78-4.10, p=0.2) but no association was observed for odds of hematologic SPMs (OR=0.98, 95% CI=0.26-3.61). No association was observed for therapy type with any or severe immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, any CRS, severe cytopenias, and non-relapse mortality. Compared to ide-cel, cilta-cel was associated with better treatment responses of ≥ complete response (OR=2.38, 95% CI=1.61-3.51, p<0.001) and ≥ partial response (OR=1.74, 95% CI=0.99-3.05, p=0.06). Patients treated with cilta-cel had a longer PFS and overall survival (OS) than ide-cel (HR=0.47, 95% CI=0.35-0.62, p<0.001 and HR=0.63, 95% CI=0.42-0.93, p=0.02, respectively), and these findings were similar in the intention to treat cohort (PFS: HR=0.44, 95% CI=0.34-0.55, p<0.001; OS: HR=0.55, 95% CI=0.41-0.73, p<0.001, respectively). We observed consistent findings when repeating the analyses restricting the ide-cel cohort to patients infused during the same time-period as FDA approval for cilta-cel (≥ March 2022), restricting to patients with data on all covariates, and restricting to sites that contributed data for both products. In a propensity matched population, (n=380; n=190 for cilta-cel and n=190 for ide-cel), patients treated with cilta-cel had superior PFS compared to those treated with ide-cel in most subgroups with respect to age and disease characteristics including extramedullary disease, high-risk cytogenetics, and elevated baseline ferritin (p<0.05). Conclusion. Our results suggest superior efficacy of cilta-cel with a higher incidence of certain toxicities compared to ide-cel in the SOC setting. This study provides valuable information for patient counseling and guiding the selection of CAR T-cell therapy for specific patient populations. Further validation through similar large-scale real-world experiences or prospective studies is needed to confirm our results and enhance applicability in the clinical setting. *DH, LP, & DD are co-first authors * YL, KP, & SS are co-last authors

Background: Tec is a BCMA-directed bispecific antibody (BsAb) approved for RRMM after ≥4 prior lines of therapy (LOT) based on the MajesTEC-1 trial. However, patients who had previously received a BCMA-DT were excluded from MajesTEC-1. Herein, we evaluated outcomes of RRMM patients with prior exposure to BCMA-DT treated with standard-of-care Tec. Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study. We compared variables between different groups using Chi-squared and Kruskal-Wallis tests, and assessed progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) using Kaplan Meier and Cox proportional hazards model. We used the maximally selected rank statistics method to determine the optimal cut-off point for continuous variables to find the most significant difference in PFS among different groups. Results: A total of 385 patients were included in this study. 193 patients had received a prior BCMA-DT, of whom 77%, 22%, and 1% had received 1, 2, and 3 prior anti-BCMA agents, respectively. In patients who had received a prior BCMA-DT, 35% were aged ≥70 years, 24% had ECOG performance status (PS) ≥2, 61% had high-risk FISH, 32% had extramedullary disease (EMD) at Tec initiation, and 42% were penta-refractory. Compared to the cohort without prior BCMA-DT (n=192), patients who were treated with prior BCMA-DT were more likely to have high risk FISH (61% vs 49%, p=0.02), and higher median number of prior LOT (7 vs 5, p <0.001). The specific types of prior BCMA-DTs with the respective overall response rate (ORR) to the most recent prior BCMA-DT were: antibody drug conjugate only (ADC, n=47, ORR 43%), chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy only (CAR T, n=99, ORR 86%), BsAb only (n=6, ORR 100%), ADC + CAR T (n=36, ORR 56%), and other ADC/CAR T/BsAb combinations (n=5, ORR 60%). Median follow up was 9.9 (95% CI:9.5-10.6) months. Patients with prior receipt of BCMA-DT had a lower ORR (51.4% vs 61.5%; p=0.012) and ≥very good partial response rate (39.4% vs 52.6%, p=0.009), but similar ≥complete response rate (22.3% vs 24%; p=0.78) to Tec compared to those without prior BCMA-DT. Moreover, patients with prior BCMA-DT had worse median PFS compared to patients without prior BCMA-DT (prior BCMA-DT: 4.6 months, 95% CI: 2.7-7.5; without prior BCMA-DT: 8.2 months, 95% CI: 5.7-12.2; p=0.017). On multivariable analysis incorporating prior BCMA-DT, age, cytogenetics, EMD, and ECOG PS, receipt of prior BCMA-DT was not independently associated with PFS (HR 1.25, 95% CI 0.95-1.64, p=0.1). The estimated 1-year OS rate was 58.9% (95% CI: 51.64-67.2) for the prior BCMA-DT group vs 65.1% (95% CI: 58.1-73.1) for the group without prior BCMA-DT, p=0.16. For the prior BCMA-DT cohort, response rates to Tec were numerically higher in patients who received CAR T (ORR 51.2%) followed by ADC (ORR 45.5%), and bispecific (ORR 30%) as their most recent prior BCMA-DT (p=0.39). No significant difference in PFS was noted when stratifying patients by number of prior BCMA-DTs, types of all prior BCMA-DTs received, type of most recent prior BCMA-DT, or depth of response to most recent BCMA-DT. Patients who responded to Tec had a numerically longer median time from most recent BCMA-DT exposure to Tec initiation compared to non-responders: 10.5 vs 7.5 months, p=0.48. We found that the optimal cut-off for time from last BCMA-DT exposure to Tec initiation was 8.7 months. Patients with > 8.7 months between last exposure to prior BCMA-DT and Tec initiation had a superior median PFS with Tec (8.1 months, 95% CI: 4.6-11.7) compared to patients with < 8.7 months from last exposure to prior BCMA-DT (2.5 months, 95% CI: 1.1-5.7), p=0.001. The toxicity profile for patients with prior BCMA-DT was similar to those who had not received a prior BCMA-DT. Grade ≥2 CRS occurred in 8.7% vs 13% (p=0.18), and grade ≥2 ICANS in 7.7% vs 6.7%, (p=0.85) of patients with and without prior BCMA-DT, respectively. Patients in the prior BCMA-DT cohort were more likely to have grade 3 thrombocytopenia in the first 30 days after Tec initiation (10.7% vs 6.6%; p=0.08). Conclusion: This is the largest study to date of any BCMA-directed BsAb among BCMA-exposed patients. Receipt of prior BCMA-DT was associated with a trend toward worse PFS, although not statistically significant, and lower likelihood of attaining an overall response. Waiting >9 months between sequencing BCMA therapies may be associated with improved PFS. D.D., M.A.V.M., J.A.D: co first authors; F.A., C.F., L.S.: co senior authors

Introduction: Anti-BCMA CAR-T therapies like idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) and ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) have revolutionized RRMM treatment. However, the 6-8-week manufacturing period often leads to disease progression and/or death in up to 25% of patients (pts), necessitating effective bridging strategies. Talquetamab (talq), a bispecific antibody targeting GPRC5D, is approved for RRMM pts with four prior lines of therapy and offers rapid disease debulking without impacting BCMA. This study assesses the safety and efficacy of a short course of talq as a bridging therapy for pts receiving cilta-cel or ide-cel. Methods: This multicenter retrospective study involved 14 US academic medical centers within the US Multiple Myeloma Immunotherapy Consortium. We included pts with RRMM who underwent leukapheresis and received talq bridging therapy with the intent to proceed to commercial cilta-cel or ide-cel. We assessed the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of talq bridging therapy. Safety outcomes included cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), talq-related unique toxicities, and delayed neurotoxicity (NT). Efficacy outcomes included response rates to talq and CAR-T therapies. Results: Between June 2023 and May 2024, 77 pts received talq bridging therapy after apheresis with the intention to proceed to CAR-T. The median age was 66 years (range, 58-73); 14% were Black and 10% Hispanic. Poor prognostic features, including high-risk cytogenetics, were present in 45%, extramedullary disease (EMD) in 43%, and 72.7% were triple-class refractory. The median number of prior lines of therapy was 5 (range 3-11) and 10 pts (13%) had prior BCMA targeted therapy. Out of 77 pts, 10 pts were pending CAR-T infusion at the time of last follow up; 6 pts could not receive CAR-T infusion due to manufacturing failures. Of the remaining 61 patients who underwent successful CAR-T manufacturing, 58 (95%) pts were successfully infused with CAR-T therapy following talq bridging. Three (5%) pts died due to disease progression prior to CAR-T infusion. Talq was given 0.8 mg/kg biweekly in 59 (76%) pts and the median time on talq was 22 days (IQR: 10-41 days). Following talq bridging, none of the pts had grade >=3 CRS and 2 (2.5%) had grade 3 ICANS. Skin toxicities occurred in 32 (41%), nail toxicities in 19 (25%), and oral toxicities in 43 (56%) pts mainly grade 1. Most oral, skin, and taste changes resolved at the last follow-up (60%). Response to talq was evaluable in 72 out of 77 patients. An overall response was noted in 45/72 (62%) pts including unconfirmed CR in 14, VGPR in 10 and PR in 21 pts. There was no association of AEs and response to talq with high-risk cytogenetics, EMD and high baseline ferritin levels. Out of the 58 patients who went on to receive CAR-T therapy following talq bridging (45 cilta-cel and 13 ide-cel), 38 (65%) experienced CRS, with grade 3 CRS noted in 2 (3%) pts. ICANS occurred in 5 (8.6%) pts, with 1 (1.7%) grade 3 ICANS. Only 1 pt had delayed NT (facial nerve palsy) at the last follow up. No treatment related deaths were observed. Of these 58 pts, response was evaluable in 40 pts and a response at day +30 was noted in 39/40 (97.5%) pts (14 in CR, 10 in VGPR, 15 in PR). The median follow-up from CAR-T was 61 days (28-113). For the 58 pts who received CAR-T, the median time from the last talq dose to CAR-T infusion was 25 days (IQR: 19-36), and to lymphodepletion was 24 days (IQR: 18-33). There was no difference in the CAR-T related AEs by the duration of Talq washout (>4 weeks vs. =< 4 weeks). Conclusions: Talquetamab is an excellent bridging option before BCMA-targeted CAR-T therapy, showing high response rates even with short-term use and enabling most pts to receive CAR-T. Most oral, skin, and taste changes resolved post CAR-T. These findings underscore the effectiveness of a short course of talq bridging to maintain disease control and improve outcomes post CAR-T. Updated data with longer follow-up will be presented at the meeting.

Abstract Ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) was approved in 2022 for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). We report outcomes with cilta-cel in the standard-of-care setting. Patients with RRMM who underwent leukapheresis for cilta-cel manufacturing between 1 March 2022 and 31 December 2022 at 16 US academic medical centers were included. Overall, 255 patients underwent leukapheresis and 236 (92.5%) received cilta-cel, of which 54% would not have met CARTITUDE-1 eligibility criteria. In treated patients (N = 236), cytokine release syndrome was seen in 75% (grade ≥3, 5%), immune effector cell–associated neurotoxicity syndrome in 14% (grade ≥3, 4%), and delayed neurotoxicity in 10%. Overall and complete response rates were as follows: all patients who received cilta-cel (N = 236), 89% and 70%; patients receiving conforming cilta-cel (n = 191), 94% and 74%; and conforming cilta-cel with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide lymphodepletion (n = 152), 95% and 76%, respectively. Nonrelapse mortality was 10%, most commonly from infection. After a median follow-up of 13 months from cilta-cel, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was not reached, with 12-month estimate being 68% (95% confidence interval, 62-74). High ferritin levels, high-risk cytogenetics, and extramedullary disease were independently associated with inferior PFS, with a signal for prior B-cell maturation antigen–targeted therapy (P = .08). Second primary malignancies excluding nonmelanoma skin cancers were seen in 5.5% and myeloid malignancies/acute leukemia in 1.7%. We observed a favorable efficacy profile of standard-of-care cilta-cel in RRMM, despite more than half the patients not meeting the CARTITUDE-1 eligibility criteria.

Abstract Background: Several immune effector cell (IEC) therapies have been approved for multiple myeloma (MM), including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies such as idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) and ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel). We report 14 cases of IEC-associated enterocolitis, in five cases fatal, following CAR-T therapy in MM. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of cases of diarrhea, enterocolitis, or colitis following commercial ide-cel or cilta-cel (including out-of-specification products) at 10 centers within the United States Myeloma Immunotherapy Consortium. Patients were treated according to the local standard of care at each participating center. Results: We identified 14 cases of IEC-associated enterocolitis out of 1159 CAR-T infusions, corresponding to a 1.2% incidence (0.2% for ide-cel and 2.3% for cilta-cel). This proportion excludes 3 cases of potential or confirmed T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders of the bowel. Patients developed acute-onset symptoms (typically non-bloody Grade 3+ diarrhea) with negative infectious workup beginning a median of 79 days (range: 22-210 days) after CAR-T therapy and a median of 74 days after cytokine release syndrome resolution (range: 2-202 days). Biopsies uniformly demonstrated inflammation, with specific findings including intra-epithelial lymphocytosis, crypt dropout on colon biopsies, and villous blunting on duodenal biopsies. Systemic corticosteroids were initiated in 10 patients (71%) a median of 26 days (range: 1-80 days) following symptom onset. Only 40% of steroid-treated patients had symptomatic improvement; subsequent infliximab or vedolizumab led to improvement in 50% and 33% of corticosteroid-refractory patients, respectively. With a median follow-up of 224 days, n = 4 have had diarrhea resolution, n = 5 have had improved or stable symptoms, and n = 5 (36%) have died from IEC-associated enterocolitis or treatment-emergent infections. Conclusions: IEC-associated enterocolitis is a distinct but rare complication of CAR-T therapy characterized by non-bloody diarrhea typically beginning 1-3 months after infusion. Thorough diagnostic workup (including evaluation for potential T-cell malignancies) and appropriate management with an expert gastroenterologist are essential. Further research is critical to understand the pathogenesis of this novel toxicity. In the interim, the early use of infliximab or vedolizumab may potentially hasten symptom resolution and lower reliance on high-dose corticosteroids during the post-CAR-T period.

Background: Early data from anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell trials suggest that concurrent infection can lead to poor outcomes. 1,2 The relationship between CAR T-cell mediated inflammatory responses and infections is not well-established. With CAR T-cell therapies more readily available, practitioners must identify which patient, disease and CAR T-cell specific parameters are associated with an increased risk of infection to optimize outcomes. We provide a comprehensive analysis of infection risk within the first 30 days after CAR T-cell infusion across multiple types of CAR T-cell trials targeting distinct antigens. Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study conducted at the National Cancer Institute analyzing infectious complications in subjects who underwent CAR T-cell therapy on one of four phase I clinical trials, targeting CD19, CD22, B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) or disialoganglioside (GD2) from 2012 though 2018. Baseline characteristics are in Table 1. The primary objective was to establish the incidence of infections between initiation of lymphodepleting (LD) chemotherapy through day 30 after CAR T-cell infusion. The secondary objective was to identify risk factors for infection. Patients were censored at relapse and/or initiation of alternative therapy, including treatment for relapse or consolidative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Univariate screening methods were used to identify parameters associated with increased risk of infection Results: Amongst 144 subjects, 52 (36.1%) received anti-CD19 CAR T-cells (CAR-T); 53 (36.8%) received anti-CD22 CAR-T, 26 (18.1%) received anti-BCMA CAR-T; and 13 (9%) received anti-GD2 CAR-T. The median age was 18 years (range: 4 to 66). Sixty-one (42.4%) had undergone at least one prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and 24 (16.7%) had at least one prior autologous HSCT. Sixty-eight (47.2%) had a history of a recent infection within 100 days of initiation of LD chemotherapy, of which 17 were a major chronic infection and 9 were considered severe. Fifty-eight (40.3%) subjects experienced a total of 103 infections from initiation of LD chemotherapy through day 30 post CAR T-cell infusion, with the median time to first infection being 6 days post-CAR infusion. Twenty-eight (19.4%) subjects had more than 1 infection; 20 (13.9%) subjects had C. difficile infection. The 103 infections consisted of 47 (45.6%) distinct episodes of focal bacterial infections (e.g., sinusitis, pneumonia, urinary tract infection), 25 (24.2%) episodes of bacteremia, 22 (21.4%) viral infections, and 9 (8.7%) invasive fungal infections. Fourteen infections (13.6%) occurred between initiation of LD chemotherapy and day 0 (prior to CAR T-cell infusion). Fever and neutropenia, without a source, was documented as a distinct entity in 85 patients (59.0%). Using univariate statistical screening methods, we identified 4 parameters that were individually associated with an increased risk of infection: increasing number of prior therapies (p=0.0034), prior history of recent infection within the past 100 days (p=0.0064), age > 18 (p =0.028), or enrollment on the CD22 CAR trial (p=0.0028). Eliminating the trial, since that is not generalizable, and combining these into a multivariable logistic regression model identified age > 18, prior history of infection and prior lines of therapies jointly associated with an increased risk of infection. Using these parameters, a predictive model was developed, which, when applied to the data set used to develop the model, can correctly predict 69 of 86 patients without an infection (80.3%; CI: 70.3-88.0%) as well as 32 of 58 patients with an infection (55.2%; 95% CI: 41.5- 68.3%). Conclusion: In this retrospective analysis, we provide the largest experience to date analyzing infection in the setting of CAR T-cell therapy across multiple CAR constructs. Our study demonstrates that adult age, prior history of infection, increased number of prior therapies and enrollment on a particular CAR T-cell trial, in this case the CD22 CAR-T trial, may lead to a higher risk of infection than in those without these risk factors. Further investigations are underway to evaluate clinical outcomes with infection which occur in the peri CAR T-cell setting and potential strategies to minimize infection risk. Generalizability of this model will be tested in an independent data set.
