[fr] Les cellules CAR-T représentent une nouvelle approche d'immunothérapie antitumorale dont
l'efficacité dans les hémopathies malignes B a récemment conduit à leur autorisation de mise
sur le marché. Les résultats des essais cliniques réalisés dans ce contexte ont montré que certaines
caractéristiques immunologiques des patients avant (au moment de l'aphérèse) et après admi-
nistration du traitement, ou des cellules CAR-T elles-mêmes, sont corrélées à la réponse au
traitement ou à sa toxicité. Il n'existe cependant pas à ce jour de recommandations sur le suivi
immunologique des patients traités en vie réelle. Les objectifs de cet atelier étaient de déterminer,
sur la base des données de la littérature et de l'expérience des centres, les examens immuno-
logiques à réaliser dans le cadre de la prise en charge d'un patient traité par cellules CAR-T. Ces
recommandations portent sur la caractérisation des cellules immunes du patient au moment de
l'aphérèse, la caractérisation des cellules CAR-T injectées, ainsi que le suivi des cellules CAR-T et des
autres paramètres de reconstitution immunitaire chez le patient après administration du traite-
ment. Une harmonisation des pratiques permettra de réaliser des études de corrélations clinico-
biologiques chez les patients traités en vie réelle dans le but de déterminer des facteurs prédictifs
de la réponse et de la toxicité. Ces données pourraient avoir un impact médico-économique
majeur en permettant d'identifier les patients qui vont bénéficier de manière optimale de ces
traitements coûteux. [en] CAR-T cells represent a new anti-tumor immunotherapy which has shown its clinical efficacy in B-
cell malignancies. The results of clinical trials carried out in this context have shown that certain
immunological characteristics of patients before (at the time of apheresis) and after the
administration of the treatment, or of the CAR-T cells themselves, are correlated with the
response to the treatment or to its toxicity. However, to date, there are no recommendations
on the immunological monitoring of patients treated in real life. The objectives of this workshop
were to determine, based on data from the literature and the experience of the centers, the
immunological analyses to be carried out in patients treated with CAR-T cells. The recommen-
dations relate to the characterization of the patient's immune cells at the time of apheresis, the
characterization of the injected CAR-T cells, as well as the monitoring of the CAR-T cells and other
parameters of immune reconstitution in the patient after administration of the treatment.
Harmonization of practices will allow clinical-biological correlation studies to be carried out in
patients treated in real life with the aim of identifying factors predictive of response and toxicity.
Such data could have a major medico-economic impact by making it possible to identify the
patients who will optimally benefit from these expensive treatments
