CAR-T CELL THERAPY FOR B-CELL ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA WITH A LARGE OVARIAN EXTRAMEDULLARY MASS

INTRODUCTION: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in childhood, arising from the bone marrow. ALL may present at diagnosis or relapse at extramedullary sites. In recent years, autologous T-cells engineered to express a chimeric-antigen receptor (CAR-T cells) have emerged as novel immune-based therapies for relapsed and refractory ALL, targeting the B-cell surface antigen CD19. Here we present a patient with relapsed ALL involving the ovaries, treated with CD19 CAR-T cells. Toxicity included cytokine-release syndrome and neurotoxicity. CAR-T cell therapy led to a complete remission, with evidence of CAR-T cell trafficking to disease sites including the bone marrow and ovaries.
