简要总结
Treatment with chimeric antigen receptor-T cell (CAR-T) is successful in patients who have not responded to chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation but it may provoke side effects and long-term complications. Early and specific side effects include cytokine release syndrome and neurological toxicity. In addition, there are also late side effects. The most prominent of which is bone marrow damage and lack of recovery of blood counts after treatment.
In this study, patients with prolong aplasia after CAR-T will recieve eltrombopag to enahnce bone marrow recovery.
详细描述
CAR-T therapy is the standrad of care in patients with relapse/refractory B cell agressive lymphoproliferative diseases. Prolonged cytopenia is a not uncommon side effect and is associated with susbstantial morbidity and in severe cases also with mortality. The pathobiologic process that causes bone marrow injury is not known and in order to find appropriate treatment it is important to expand the knowledge regarding this toxicity. Current treatment options for bone marrow suppression includes growth factor therapy (GCSF), steroids and immunoglobulins. .
The investigators hypothesize that CART cells directly suppress or create inflammatory process in bone marrow. This process may resemble aplastic anemia, a marrow aplasia that occurs secondary to inflammatory process.
Treatment of aplastic anemia is based on the administration of eltrombopag, that causes a thrombopoietin-mimetic blood cells to develop and multiply. This treatment demonstrated an increase in the amount of platelets and neutrophils in patients with aplastic anemia and is approved by the health authorities around the world and in Israel as a standard treatment for this disease. There are several reports of successful use of altrombopag in patients after CART who have developed marrow toxicity and in patients after bone marrow transplantation whose blood counts are low.
In this study, patients with prologed aplasia after CART cells therapy, will be given eltrombopag in a purpose to incrase bone marrow function. In addition, the investigators will perform several assays to shed more light on the basic pathologic process that causes the bone marrow aplasia.

研究组 & 干预措施
Eltrombopag
Patients with bone marrow aplasia for more than 30 days after CART treatment
干预措施: Eltrombopag (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
The percentage of cellularity
时间窗: up to 12 weeks (4 weeks from CART treatment and additional 8 weeks of treatment with eltrombopag)
Efficacy of eltrombopag treatment will be measured based on recovery of blood counts and recovery of bone marrow aplasia (measured as percentage of cellularity)
Identify the mechanism for the appearance of late bone marrow toxicity
时间窗: 12 weeks from CART treatment
Identification of the mechanism for the CART- associated bone marrow aplasia will be based on cytokines profile, T cell subclasses analyses and single cell RNA sequencing. This will enable the investigators to shed more light on the pathologic process that connects CART cells admisnitration and bone marrow apasia.
