Chronic graft-versus-host disease secondary to donor-derived CAR-T cells
treatment in children: a report of two cases and a literature review
Abstract
Donor-derived CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR-T)
cell therapy seems be effective and safe for relapsed B-ALL after
allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). We
report two cases of children who received Donor-derived CAR-T cell
therapy. After transfusion, the children experienced different degrees
of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). Early intervention
included strengthening immunosuppressant, FAM regimen, tyrosine kinase
inhibitor, and auxiliary cell therapy. Their dyspnoea and lung function
were significantly improved and recovered. They did not receive the
second transplant. Timely and effective intervention is crucial to
improve both prognosis and quality of life.
