Respiratory Failure Due to Idiopathic Pneumonia Syndrome in a Pediatric Patient After Recipient-derived Allogeneic Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy

Le résumé fourni par la source

Idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS) is a life-threatening complication of hematopoietic cell transplantation, but it is not clearly described following chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. We describe a child who developed IPS after receiving tisagenlecleucel for post-hematopoietic cell transplantation relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia and had a remarkable improvement after treatment with corticosteroids and etanercept. We discuss the implications of cytokine signaling in IPS and immunologic considerations of allogeneic CAR T cells. We anticipate that the incidence of IPS and other allogeneic phenomena will be observed more often as allogeneic CAR T cells are employed in more varied settings with more mismatched donors.
