Popis: Abstract Background Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and bispecific T-cell engagers, which redirect T-cells to tumor antigens, have immensely benefitted patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell cancers. How these therapies differ in cardiotoxicity is underexplored. We used the World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database, VigiBase, to compare cardiotoxicity profiles between CD19-targeted CAR-T therapy and blinatumomab (a CD19/CD3-targeted bispecific T-cell engager). Methods Safety reports in VigiBase were filtered for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL, n = 17,479) and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL, n = 28,803) for all adverse reactions. Data were further filtered for patients taking CAR-T therapy or blinatumomab. Reporting odds ratios (ROR) and fatality rates were compared between CAR-T cell products (e.g. tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel), and between CAR-T therapy and blinatumomab. Results Tisagenlecleucel is associated with cardiac failure (IC025 = 0.366) with fatality rates of 85.7% and 80.0% in DLBCL and pediatric ALL patients respectively. For DLBCL patients, axicabtagene ciloleucel has greater reporting for hypotension than tisagenlecleucel (ROR: 2.54; 95% CI: 1.28–5.03; p = 0.012), but tisagenlecleucel has higher fatality rates for hypotension than axicabtagene ciloleucel [50.0% (tisagenlecleucel) vs 5.6% (axicabtagene ciloleucel); p
