Zusammenfassung: | Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a breakthrough treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. However, many patients do not achieve remission or relapse after remission. Previous studies have demonstrated that eosinophils have synergistic anti-tumor effects with CD8+T cells and pre-CAR T-eosinophil counts are associated with the efficacy of CAR T cells.
We retrospectively analyzed the eosinophil counts of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and found it changed remarkably pre- and post-CAR T-cell therapy.
Patients who achieved complete remission after CAR T-cell infusion had greater post-CAR T-eosinophil counts than those who did not. Kaplan–Meier curves showed that patients with greater eosinophil counts during the second month after CAR T-cell infusion had superior progression-free survival and overall survival compared with those with lower eosinophil counts.
For patients who responded to CAR T-cell therapy, eosinophil counts also can be used to predict 6-month duration of response. In conclusion, the post-CAR T-eosinophil count is associated with the prognosis of patients treated with CAR T-cell therapy and can be used to clinically identify patients who can achieve longer remission after CAR T-cell infusion. |
