Chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T) are now a standard approach for treating relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphomas. Immune effector cell-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-like syndrome (IEC-HS) is a newly described entity that can manifest following CAR-T. Bone marrow (BM) aplasia is an uncommon manifestation of IEC-HS reported after CAR-T-cell therapy and is defined as the reduction or absence of hematopoietic progenitor cells resulting in severe pancytopenia. We describe the case of a 44-year-old female with relapsed/refractory Burkitt lymphoma (BL) who received treatment with lisocabtagene maraleucel with her post-CAR-T course complicated by cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and IEC-HS ultimately leading to persistent BM aplasia. She underwent a rescue allogeneic stem cell transplant but ultimately succumbed to progressive disease. IEC-HS is an increasingly recognized complication that occurs after CAR-T treatments that can result in aplasia, a dangerous complication with serious sequelae including infection, transfusion dependence, and high risk for hemorrhage. The underlying mechanism is poorly understood, and further studies are needed to understand how to treat it better. |
