Because CAR-T therapy has shown great success in treating CD19-positive hematological malignancies, its application has been explored in the treatment of solid tumors, such as liver cancer. In this review, we discuss the immune characteristics of liver cancer, the obstacles encountered during the application of CAR-T therapy, and preclinical and clinical progress in the use of CAR-T therapy in patients with liver cancer.Data sources: The data on CAR-T therapy related to liver cancers were collected by searching Pub Med and the Web of Science databases prior to December 2017 with the keywords "chimeric antigen receptor","CAR-T", "liver cancer", "hepatocellular carcinoma", and "solid tumor". Additional articles were identified by manual search of references found in the primary articles. The data for clinical trials were collected by searching Clinical Trials.gov.Results: The liver has a tolerogenic nature in the intrahepatic milieu and its tumor microenvironment significantly affects tumor progression. The obstacles that reduce the efficacy of CAR-T therapy in solid tumors include a lack of specific tumor antigens, limited trafficking and penetration of CAR-T cells to tumor sites, and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. To overcome these obstacles, several strategies have emerged. In addition, several strategies have been developed to manage the side effects of CAR-T, including enhancing the selectivity of CARs and controlling CAR-T activity. To date, no clinical trials of CAR-T therapy against HCC have been completed. However, preclinical studies in vitro and in vivo have shown potent antitumor efficacy. Glypican-3, mucin-1, epithelial cell adhesion molecule, carcinoembryonic antigen, and other targets are currently being studied.Conclusions: The application of CAR-T therapy for liver cancer is just beginning to be explored and more research is needed. However, we are optimistic that CAR-T therapy will offer a new approach for the treatment of liver cancers in the future.展开更多

Although several articles have reported on the care of CAR-T cell immunotherapy, the quality of the study and the effectiveness of holistic nursing interventions have not been systematically reviewed. The purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the existing holistic nursing interventions of CAR-T cell immunotherapy. Methods: A literature search for keywords was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, and Wanfang Data from its inception until January 2018. Studies were deemed eligible if they comprised patients with tumor receiving CAR-T cell immunotherapy, described the holistic nursing process, and were published in Chinese and English. Results: A total of 6 articles on holistic nursing interventions of CAR-T cell immunotherapy are reported, and the nursing methods and results of each article are analyzed. The quality of the studies included was medium. All nursing measures were considered effective. Conclusions: Holistic nursing programs reduce the incidence of CRS and TLS and improve the quality of life of cancer patients.展开更多

Primary human T cells can be modified using viral and non-viral vectors to promote the specific targeting of cancer cells via the introduction of exogenous T-cell receptors(TCRs) or chimeric antigen receptors(CARs). This gene transfer displays the potential to increase the specificity and potency of the anticancer response while decreasing the systemic adverse effects that arise from conventional treatments that target both cancerous and healthy cells. This review highlights the generation of clinical-grade T cells expressing CARs for immunotherapy, the use of these cells to target B-cell malignancies and, particularly, the first clinical trials deploying the Sleeping Beauty gene transfer system, which engineers T cells to target CD19+ leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.展开更多

文摘背景嵌合抗原受体(CAR)-T细胞免疫疗法已在多发性骨髓瘤(MM)中取得较好的疗效,最常见的靶点为B细胞成熟抗原(BCMA)。单靶点CAR-T细胞免疫疗法的缺点是会导致疾病抵抗和复发,可能与抗原逃逸有关。为此,改进开发了双靶点CAR-T细胞治疗复发难治多发性骨髓瘤(RRMM),此方面尚缺乏系统的临床分析。目的对RRMM患者应用双靶点CAR-T细胞免疫疗法治疗的有效性及安全性进行Meta分析。方法计算机检索PubMed、Embase、Cochrane Library、Web of Science、中国知网、万方数据知识服务平台、维普网7个数据库中有关双靶点CAR-T细胞治疗RRMM的单组率研究,检索时限为建库至2023-02-06。由2名研究人员使用自制的数据表单来提取收集数据,并采用非随机对照试验方法学评价指标进行文献质量评价。采用R Studio软件进行数据分析。结果共纳入9篇文献,包括200例既往接受过多线治疗的RRMM患者。双靶点CAR-T细胞疗法根据不同靶点可分为4类:BCMA+CD19、BCMA+CD38,BCMA+跨膜剂与钙调节亲环素配体的相互作用者(TACI)、BCMA+人信号淋巴细胞激活分子家族成员7(CS1),其中BCMA+CD19靶点的研究较多。根据输注形式不同CAR-T细胞疗法可分为4类:双特异性CAR-T细胞、联合或序贯输注两种不同CAR-T细胞、双顺反子结构、共转导。Meta分析显示,双靶点CAR-T细胞治疗RRMM的总缓解率(ORR)为90.0%(95%CI=0.849~0.943),完全缓解率(CRR)为54.6%(95%CI=0.416~0.673),微小残留病(MRD)阴性率为75.6%(95%CI=0.489~0.952),髓外病变(EMD)总缓解率为55.1%(95%CI=0.234~0.851),最后一次随访时的复发率为29.7%(95%CI=0.141~0.454),最后一次随访时的生存率为75.6%(95%CI=0.554~0.915),3~4级细胞释放因子综合征(CRS)发生率为16.4%(95%CI=0.094~0.245),神经毒性(ICANS)发生率为4.0%(95%CI=0~0.120)。敏感性分析提示结果稳定。Egger's检验结果显示,ORR(P=0.03)及EMD总缓解率(P=0.02)提示存在一定的偏倚风险;CRR(P=0.53)、MRD阴性率(P=0.79)、最后一次随访时的复发率(P=0.71)、生存率(P=0.98)、3~4级CRS发生率(P=0.90)、ICANS发生率(P=0.30)提示不存在发表偏倚。结论双靶点CAR-T细胞免疫治疗RRMM显示出良好的疗效和安全性,未来需要多中心、大样本、更长随访期的研究来进一步评估其疗效和安全性。

文摘Objective:This study aimed to compare the efficacy of anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cells(CAR-T cells)versus chemotherapy plus donor lymphocyte infusion(chemo-DLI)for treating relapsed CD 19-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(B-ALL)after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT).Methods:Clinical data of 43 patients with B-ALL who relapsed after allo-HSCT were retrospectively analyzed.Twenty-two patients were treated with CAR-T cells(CAR-T group),and 21 with chemotherapy plus DLI(chemo-DLI group).The complete remission(CR)and minimal residual disease(MRD)-negative CR rates,leukemia-free survival(LFS)rate,overall survival(OS)rate,and incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease(aGVHD),cytokine release syndrome(CRS)and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome(ICANS)were compared between the two groups.Results:The CR and MRD-negative CR rates in the CAR-T group(77.3%and 61.5%)were significantly higher than those in the chemo-DLI group(38.1%and 23.8%)(P=0.008 and P=0.003).The 1-and 2-year LFS rates in the CAR-T group were superior to those in the chemo-DLI group:54.5%and 50.0%vs.9.5%and 4.8%(P=0.0001 and P=0.00004).The 1-and 2-year OS rates in the CAR-T versus chemo-DLI group were 59.1%and 54.5%vs.19%and 9.5%(P=0.011 and P=0.003).Six patients(28.6%)with grade 2-4 aGVHD were identified in the chemo-DLI group.Two patients(9.1%)in the CAR-T group developed grade 1-2 aGVHD.Nineteen patients(86.4%)developed CRS in the CAR-T group,comprising grade 1-2 CRS in 13 patients(59.1%)and grade 3 CRS in 6 patients(27.3%).Two patients(9.1%)developed grade 1-2 ICANS.Conclusion:Donor-derived anti-CD19 CAR-T-cell therapy may be better,safer,and more effective than chemo-DLI for B-ALL patients who relapse after allo-HSCT.
