Article Title: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy use in patients with multiple myeloma and kidney failure on maintenance hemodialysis: A report of 2 cases
Abstract: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy against B-cell maturation antigen is a new treatment modality for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Patients with kidney failure and MM were excluded from the pivotal CAR T-cell therapy clinical trials: KaRMMa (idecabtagene vicleucel) and CARTITUDE (ciltacabtagene autocleucel). The safety and efficacy of CAR T-cell therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory MM and kidney failure are limited to a few case reports using idecabtagene vicleucel. Here, we report the first 2 cases of ciltacabtagene autoleucel use in patients with kidney failure on maintenance hemodialysis and relapsed or refractory MM. Both patients achieved a hematologic response following ciltacabtagene autoleucel administration without serious adverse events. These findings suggest that ciltacabtagene autoleucel may be safe and effective in patients with relapsed or refractory MM and kidney failure. In this report, we review the available literature regarding the use of CAR T-cell therapy in patients with MM and kidney failure. We also discuss the modification of the lymphodepletion regimen in the kidney failure setting. © 2024 The Authors
