Incipient clonal hematopoiesis is accelerated following CD30.CAR-T therapy

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells are an emerging therapy for refractory lymphomas. Clonal hematopoiesis (CH), the preferential outgrowth of mutated bone marrow progenitors, is enriched in lymphoma patients receiving CAR-T cells. CAR-T therapy requires conditioning chemotherapy and often induces systemic inflammatory reactions, both of which have been shown to promote expansion of CH clones. Thus, we hypothesized that pre-existing CH clones could expand during CAR-T cell treatment. We measured CH at 154 timepoints longitudinally sampled from 26 patients receiving CD30.CAR-T therapy for CD30+ lymphomas on an investigational protocol (NCT02917083). Pre-treatment CH was present in 54% of individuals and did not correlate with survival outcomes or inflammatory toxicities. Longitudinal tracking of single clones in individual patients revealed distinct clone growth dynamics. Initially small clones, defined as VAF <1%, expanded following CAR-T administration, compared with relatively muted expansions of larger clones (3.37-fold vs. 1.20-fold, P = 0.0014). Matched clones were present at low magnitude in the infused CD30.CAR-T product for all CH cases but did not affect the product's immunophenotype or transduction efficiency. As cellular immunotherapies expand to become frontline treatments for hematological malignancies, our data indicates CAR-T recipients could be enriched for CH, and further longitudinal studies centered on CH complications in this population are warranted.
