Greater tumor burden before CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy predicts lower complete response rate and shorter overall survival (OS) in patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Recent patterns of failure studies have identified lesion characteristics, including size, standard uptake value (SUV), and extranodal location, as associated with post-CAR-T therapy failure. Here we analyzed the effect of bridging radiation-containing treatment (BRT) on pre-CAR-T therapy lesion- and patient-level characteristics and post-CAR-T therapy outcomes, including patterns of failure. Consecutive NHL patients who received radiation therapy from 30 days before leukapheresis until CAR T cell infusion were reviewed. Metabolic tumor volume (MTV) was contoured with a threshold SUV of 4. The first post-CAR-T therapy failures were categorized as preexisting/new/mixed with respect to pre-CAR-T therapy disease and in-field/marginal/distant with respect to BRT. Forty-one patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL; n = 33), mantle cell lymphoma (n = 7), or Burkitt lymphoma (n = 1) were identified. BRT significantly improved established high-risk parameters of post-CAR-T therapy progression, including in-field median MTV (45.5 cc to .2 cc; P < .001), maximum SUV (18.1 to 4.4; P < .001), diameter (5.5 cm to 3.2 cm; P < .001), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; 312 to 232; P = .025). DLBCL patients with lower LDH levels post-BRT had improved progression-free survival (PFS; P = .001). In DLBCL, first failures were new in 7 of 19 patients, preexisting in 5 of 19, and mixed in 7 of 19; with respect to BRT, 4 of 19 were in-field and 4 of 19 were marginal. Post-CAR-T therapy survival was similar in patients with initially low MTV and those with newly low MTV post-BRT using a statistically determined threshold of 16 cc (PFS, 26 months versus 31 months; OS unreached for both). BRT produced significant cytoreductions in diameter, SUV, MTV, and LDH, all predictors of poor post-CAR-T therapy outcomes. Similar PFS and OS in patients with initially low MTV and those who achieved newly low MTV after BRT suggest that BRT may "convert" poor-risk patients to better risk. In the future, the response to BRT may allow for risk stratification and individualization of bridging strategies.
在接受 CD19 靶向嵌合抗原受体 T 细胞(CAR-T)治疗之前,肿瘤负荷越大,侵袭性非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)患者的完全缓解率越低,总生存期(OS)越短。最近的失败模式研究已经确定了病变特征,包括大小、标准摄取值(SUV)和结外位置,与 CAR-T 治疗后失败有关。在这里,我们分析了桥接放疗(BRT)对 CAR-T 治疗前病变和患者水平特征以及 CAR-T 治疗后结局(包括失败模式)的影响。对从白细胞分离前 30 天至 CAR-T 细胞输注期间接受放疗的连续 NHL 患者进行了回顾性分析。代谢肿瘤体积(MTV)用阈值 SUV 为 4 进行描绘。CAR-T 治疗后首次失败按 CAR-T 治疗前疾病分为原有/新发/混合,并按 BRT 分为累及野/边缘/远处。确定了弥漫性大 B 细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL;n=33)、套细胞淋巴瘤(n=7)或伯基特淋巴瘤(n=1)患者 41 例。BRT 显著改善了 CAR-T 治疗后进展的既定高危参数,包括累及野中位数 MTV(45.5 cc 至 0.2 cc;P<.001)、最大 SUV(18.1 至 4.4;P<.001)、直径(5.5 cm 至 3.2 cm;P<.001)和乳酸脱氢酶(LDH;312 至 232;P=.025)。BRT 后 LDH 水平较低的 DLBCL 患者无进展生存期(PFS;P=.001)改善。在 DLBCL 中,19 例患者中有 7 例为新发,19 例患者中有 5 例为原有,19 例患者中有 7 例为混合;关于 BRT,19 例患者中有 4 例为累及野,19 例患者中有 4 例为边缘。用统计学确定的 16 cc 阈值比较,CAR-T 治疗后使用 BRT 的患者初始 MTV 较低者和新 MTV 较低者的生存情况相似(PFS,26 个月与 31 个月;两者 OS 均未达到)。BRT 在直径、SUV、MTV 和 LDH 方面均产生了显著的细胞减少,这些都是 CAR-T 治疗后预后不良的预测因素。BRT 后初始 MTV 较低的患者和新 MTV 较低的患者的 PFS 和 OS 相似,提示 BRT 可能“转化”为高危患者为低危。未来,对 BRT 的反应可能允许对桥接策略进行风险分层和个体化。
