Article Abstract
Introduction: Invasive fungal infection (IFI) after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is less common than bacterial and viral infections, but can be fatal once it develops. As most cases occur within 30 days after CAR T-cell infusion, late-onset IFI-particularly mould infection-appears to be under-recognised.
Discussion: We report an illustrative case of pituitary aspergillosis developing as late as one year after CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, highlighting a persistent risk in certain patients with delayed immune reconstitution.
Conclusion: This case underscores the need for continued vigilance and individualised antifungal strategies to prevent IFI beyond the early post-infusion period.
Trial Registration: The authors have confirmed clinical trial registration is not needed for this submission.

Objective: To develop a novel prognostic scoring system for severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) treated with anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapy, aiming to optimize risk mitigation strategies and improve clinical management.
Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 125 B-ALL patients who received anti-CD19 CAR-T-cell therapy from January 2017 to October 2023. These cases were selected from a cohort of over 500 treated patients on the basis of the availability of comprehensive baseline data, documented CRS grading, and at least 3 months of follow-up.

Approximately 30-40% of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients will develop relapse/refractory disease, who may benefit from novel therapies, such as CAR-T cell therapy. Thus, accurate identification of individuals at high risk of early chemoimmunotherapy failure (ECF) is crucial. Methods.

The fourth leading cause of cancer-related fatalities in the USA is pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a particularly deadly illness that is resistant to immunotherapy. One of the Main Obstacles in cancer research is developing better treatments for PDAC, which has the lowest 5-year survival rate of any malignancy. Anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-L1, and anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade medications also have poor results in these patients, which may indicate the presence of other immunosuppressive mechanisms in the pancreatic tumor microenvironment (TME).

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment of aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, particularly in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma. Despite its transformative potential, significant challenges persist in optimizing patient identification and referral pathways to ensure timely and equitable access. This expert consensus, developed through the Delphi methodology, analyzes key barriers to the referral process and proposes structured solutions to enhance collaboration between referring treatment centers (RTCs) and qualified treatment centers (QTCs).

B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have revolutionized the approach and management of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), and as of 2025, idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) and ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) are the only BCMA-targeted CAR T-cell therapies approved by the FDA. Exceptional responses were demonstrated for heavily pretreated patients in the KarMMa-1 trial, reporting a 73% overall response rate (ORR) and 98% in the CARTITUDE-1 trial. Furthermore, both therapies show a significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared to standard regimens when administered in earlier lines.
