Richter's transformation (RT) from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to lymphoma carries poor prognosis. This case series examines the efficacy of lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) in six RT patients, highlighting the impact of concurrent ibrutinib therapy.
Six patients were with RT who received liso-cel from were included in this single institution case series. Clinical data related to efficacy, safety, CAR-T expansion kinetics, and measurable residual disease were collected.
The best overall response was 83.3%. The four patients who received ibrutinib concurrent with liso-cel therapy continue to show MRD-negative complete response till date. None experienced severe (grade 3+) cytokine release syndrome while 1 had severe (grade 3+) immune-effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). All patients were noted to have in vivo CAR expansion.
This series of real cases suggests liso-cel with concurrent ibrutinib may be a promising treatment for RT, warranting further exploration.
慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)向淋巴瘤的里氏转化(RT)预后较差。本病例系列研究了利妥昔单抗(liso-cel)对6例RT患者的疗效,突出了同时使用伊布替尼治疗的影响。
本单机构病例系列纳入了6例接受liso-cel治疗的RT患者。收集了与疗效、安全性、CAR-T扩增动力学和可测量残留疾病相关的临床数据。
最佳总体缓解率为83.3%。4例同时接受伊布替尼和liso-cel治疗的患者至今仍显示微小残留病(MRD)阴性的完全缓解。无一例发生严重(3级以上)细胞因子释放综合征,1例发生严重(3级以上)免疫效应细胞相关神经毒性综合征(ICANS)。所有患者体内均有CAR扩增。
这一系列真实病例表明,liso-cel联合伊布替尼可能是RT的一种有前景的治疗方法,值得进一步探索。
