Abstract

The chimeric antigen receptor T-cells are a new class of anticancer treatment consisting in genetically modifying autologous or allogenic T-cells to make express a CAR directed against a membrane tumor antigen. In Europe, tisagenlecleucel (KymriahTM) has a marketing authorization for the treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children and young adults and of R/R diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The marketing authorization for axicabtagene ciloleucel (YescartaTM) is the treatment of DLBCL and primary R/R mediastinal B-cell lymphoma. The two products are autologous T-cells directed against CD19. This collaborative work, part of a series of expert opinion-based work, aims to give practical advice to help centers in selection of patients for commercially available CAR T-cell treatment.

Keywords: B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia; CAR T-cells; CD19; Cellules CAR-T; Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; Leucémie aiguë lymphoblastique B; Lymphome diffus à grandes cellules B.
