The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) posed an unprecedented challenge on public health systems. Despite the measures put in place to contain it, COVID-19 is likely to continue experiencing sporadic outbreaks for some time, and individuals will remain susceptible to recurrent infections. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T recipients are characterized by durable B-cell aplasia, hypogammaglobulinemia and loss of T-cell diversity, which lead to an increased proportion of severe/critical cases and a high mortality rate after COVID-19 infection. Thus, treatment decisions have become much more complex and require greater caution when considering CAR T-cell immunotherapy. Hence, we reviewed the current understanding of COVID-19 and reported clinical experience in the management of COVID-19 and CAR-T therapy. After a panel discussion, we proposed a rational procedure pertaining to CAR-T recipients with the aim of maximizing the benefit of CAR-T therapy in the post COVID-19 pandemic era.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的爆发给公共卫生系统带来了前所未有的挑战。尽管已采取措施控制疫情,但在一段时间内,COVID-19可能会继续出现散发性爆发,而且个体仍易反复感染。嵌合抗原受体(CAR)-T细胞疗法的接受者具有持久的B细胞发育不全、低丙种球蛋白血症和T细胞多样性丧失的特点,这导致COVID-19感染后重症/危重症病例比例增加和死亡率较高。因此,在考虑CAR-T细胞免疫疗法时,治疗决策变得更加复杂,需要更加谨慎。因此,我们回顾了目前对COVID-19的认识,并报告了COVID-19管理和CAR-T细胞疗法的临床经验。经过小组讨论,我们提出了一个针对CAR-T细胞疗法接受者的合理流程,目的是在COVID-19大流行后的时代最大限度地提高CAR-T细胞疗法的益处。
