Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cell therapies like CAR-T are costly, complex therapeutic procedures. Outpatient models, including at-home transplantation, have been developed, resulting in similar survival results, reduced costs, and increased patient satisfaction. The complexity and safety of the process can be addressed with various emerging technologies (artificial intelligence, wearable sensors, point-of-care analytical devices, drones, virtual assistants) that allow continuous patient monitoring and improved decision-making processes. Patients, caregivers, and staff can also benefit from improved training with simulation or virtual reality. However, many technical, operational, and above all, ethical concerns need to be addressed. Finally, outpatient or at-home hematopoietic transplantation or CAR-T therapy creates a different, integrated operative system that must be planned, designed, and carefully adapted to the patient's characteristics and distance from the hospital. Patients, clinicians, and their clinical environments can benefit from technically improved at-home transplantation.

[PMID: 37414060 DOI: 10.1016/s1470-2045(23)00222-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a promising option for patients with heavily treated multiple myeloma. Point-of-care manufacturing can increase the availability of these treatments worldwide. We aimed to assess the safety and activity of ARI0002h, a BCMA-targeted CAR T-cell therapy developed by academia, in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. METHODS CARTBCMA-HCB-01 is a single-arm, multicentre study done in five academic centres in Spain. Eligible patients had relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and were aged 18-75 years; with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2; two or more previous lines of therapy including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 antibody; refractoriness to the last line of therapy; and measurable disease according to the International Myeloma Working Group criteria. Patients received an initial fractionated infusion of 3 × 106 CAR T cells per kg bodyweight in three aliquots (0·3, 0·9, and 1·8 × 106 CAR-positive cells per kg intravenously on days 0, 3, and 7) and a non-fractionated booster dose of up to 3 × 106 CAR T cells per kg bodyweight, at least 100 days after the first infusion. The primary endpoints were overall response rate 100 days after first infusion and the proportion of patients developing cytokine-release syndrome or neurotoxic events in the first 30 days after receiving treatment. Here, we present an interim analysis of the ongoing trial; enrolment has ended. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04309981, and EudraCT, 2019-001472-11. FINDINGS Between June 2, 2020, and Feb 24, 2021, 44 patients were assessed for eligibility, of whom 35 (80%) were enrolled. 30 (86%) of 35 patients received ARI0002h (median age 61 years [IQR 53-65], 12 [40%] were female, and 18 [60%] were male). At the planned interim analysis (cutoff date Oct 20, 2021), with a median follow-up of 12·1 months (IQR 9·1-13·5), overall response during the first 100 days from infusion was 100%, including 24 (80%) of 30 patients with a very good partial response or better (15 [50%] with complete response, nine [30%] with very good partial response, and six [20%] with partial response). Cytokine-release syndrome was observed in 24 (80%) of 30 patients (all grade 1-2). No cases of neurotoxic events were observed. Persistent grade 3-4 cytopenias were observed in 20 (67%) patients. Infections were reported in 20 (67%) patients. Three patients died: one because of progression, one because of a head injury, and one due to COVID-19. INTERPRETATION ARI0002h administered in a fractioned manner with a booster dose after 3 months can provide deep and sustained responses in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, with a low toxicity, especially in terms of neurological events, and with the possibility of a point-of-care approach.
