Abstract

central memory T cells as independent predictors of CRS. Severe CRS was characterized by hemodynamic instability, capillary leak, and consumptive coagulopathy. Angiopoietin-2 and von Willebrand factor, which are biomarkers of endothelial activation, were increased during severe CRS and also before lymphodepletion in patients who subsequently developed CRS. We describe a classification-tree algorithm to guide studies of early intervention after CAR T-cell infusion for patients at high risk of severe CRS. These data provide a framework for early intervention studies to facilitate safer application of effective CD19 CAR T-cell therapy.
