PG - 2211-2216 LID - S1083-8791(20)30581-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbmt.2020.08.036 [doi] AB - Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is approved in the United States for the treatment of acute lymphocytic leukemia and aggressive B cell lymphomas. Multiple cardiovascular adverse events (CVEs) associated with CAR-Ts have been observed in small studies, but no large-scale studies exist. Leveraging the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Events Reporting System (FAERS), we identified all reported adverse events (AEs) associated with CAR-T therapy (tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel) from 2017 to 2019. Reports with missing age and sex were excluded. CVEs were classified into arrhythmias, heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction (MI), and other CVEs. Logistic regression and hierarchical clustering were used to identify factors associated with CVEs. A total of 996 reported AEs were observed (39.1% associated with tisagenlecleucel and 60% with axicabtagene ciloleucel). Of all patients experiencing AEs, the median age was 54 (interquartile range, 21 to 65) years; 38.9% were females. In total, 19.7% (196) of all AEs reported to the FDA were CVEs. The most common CVEs were arrhythmia (77.6%), followed by HF (14.3%) and MI (0.5%). In adjusted analysis a positive association was observed between those presenting with CVE with neurotoxicity (odds ratio, 1.76; 95% confidence interval, 1.20 to 2.60; P = .004). Additionally, when both CVE and cytokine release syndrome (CRS) are present, neurotoxicity is the most common noncardiac AE, which clusters with them (Jaccard similarity: 73.1). The mortality rate was 21.1% overall but 30.1% for those reporting CVEs. In FAERS, reported CVEs with CAR-T are associated with high reported mortality. The development of either CRS or neurotoxicity should prompt vigilance for cardiovascular events. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.
