Multi-centers experience using therapeutic plasma exchange for corticosteroid/tocilizumab-refractory cytokine release syndrome following CAR-T therapy

The chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy significantly enhances the prognosis of various hematologic malignancies; however, the systemic expansion of CAR-T cells also gives rise to severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Despite the successful application of corticosteroids and tocilizumab in alleviating severe CRS in most patients, there are still individuals who experience life-threatening CRS without responding to the aforementioned therapies. In our retrospective cohort, we conducted an analysis of clinical and laboratory parameters, including inflammatory cytokines, in 17 patients from three centers who underwent therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) for refractory CRS with or without ICANS following CAR-T products treatment. Our findings demonstrate a significant improvement in both clinical symptoms and laboratory parameters subsequent to TPE treatment. The rapid decrease in temperature and levels of inflammatory indexes indicates the remarkable scavenging efficacy of TPE against cytokine storm following CAR-T therapy. In conclusion, TPE may serve as a valuable and safe adjunct to corticosteroids and tocilizumab in the management of severe CRS resulting from CAR-T cell infusion. We eagerly await further prospective studies to validate this finding.
