Article Abstract

Objective: Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has achieved impressive efficacy in treating relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM). Nephrotoxicity after CAR-T cell therapy has rarely been reported.

Methods: We investigated the occurrence and clinical outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in 111 patients with R/R MM after CAR-T cell therapy.

Results: Thirteen patients (12.1%) developed AKI within 1 month of CAR-T cell therapy, of which 11 had grade 1 AKI, 1 had grade 2, and 1 had grade 3. Eleven (84.6%) cases resolved within 1 month after CAR-T cell therapy. The baseline tumor burden was an independent risk factor for the development of AKI. The finding of a high baseline tumor burden or hyponatremia after CAR-T cell therapy and close monitoring of lactate dehydrogenase, uric acid, interleukin (IL)-5 and IL-10 levels were helpful in predicting the development of AKI. The incidence of cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome were similar between the AKI and non-AKI groups. There was also no significant difference in clinical efficacy between the two groups.

Conclusion: AKI is a mild severity and reversible complication. It has no impact on clinical outcomes in R/R MM patients receiving CAR-T cell therapy.

Despite therapeutic advances, multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable, especially in relapsed/refractory (R/R) cases. B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a key target for novel immunotherapies, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies and bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs), which vary in efficacy, toxicity, and accessibility. To compare the efficacy and safety of BCMA-directed CAR-T therapies and BiTEs in R/R MM through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy but are increasingly linked to immune-related kidney injury (irKI). This study presents the first bibliometric analysis of irKI research (2000-2025), aiming to identify key trends, mechanistic insights, and pharmacological risk factors. We analyzed 2,179 publications to understand the evolution of irKI research, focusing on areas like T cell-mediated tubular injury, immune system-driven inflammation, and changes in metabolism.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies have demonstrated clinical efficacy in treating haematological malignancies, resulting in multiple regulatory approvals. However, there is a need for robust manufacturing platforms and the use of GMP-aligned reagents to meet the clinical and commercial demands. This study investigates the impact of serum/xeno-free medium (SXFM) and cytokine supplementation on CAR-T cell production in static and agitated culture systems, using 24-well plate G-Rex vessels and 500 mL stirred tank bioreactors (STRs), respectively.

Background: Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are often older, which brings challenges of endurance and persistent efficacy of autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies. Allogenic CAR-natural killer (NK) cell therapies may offer reduced toxicities and enhanced anti-leukemic potential against AML. CD33 CAR-NK cells have been investigated for AML therapy.

Background And Objectives: Neuroimaging findings in immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) have not been systematically described. We created the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell Neurotoxicity Imaging Virtual Archive Library (CARNIVAL), a centralized imaging database for children and young adults receiving CAR T-cell therapy. Objectives of this study were to (1) characterize neuroimaging findings associated with ICANS and (2) determine whether specific ICANS-related neuroimaging findings are associated with individual neurologic symptoms.
