Setting | Agent | Study | Outcome/Conclusion | Reference |
---|---|---|---|---|
Preclinical | Lenalidomide | Cell lines/xenograft models | Lenalidomide augments CAR-T function | [66] |
Preclinical | Radiation therapy | Cell lines (leukemia) | Radiation sensitizes cell lines to CAR-T-mediated death | [69] |
Preclinical | Radiation therapy | Cell lines (solid tumor) | Radiation enhances CAR-T penetration and expansion | [67,70] |
Pre-CAR-T | Radiation therapy | Retrospective | Pre-CAR-T radiation is safe and led to effective local disease control | [68] |
Pre-CAR-T | Ibrutinib | Retrospective | Ibrutinib before CAR-T therapy in CLL may improve function | [65] |
Upfront | Atezolizumab (PD-L1) | Phase 1 | Combination atezolizumab + axi-cel is safe, higher level of expansion | [64] |
Progressive disease | Pembrolizumab (PD-1) | Case report | Disease regression | [60] |
Progressive disease | Nivolumab (PD-1) | Case report | Re-expansion of CAR-T product, disease regression, CRS/CRES | [61] |
Progressive disease | Pembrolizumab (PD-1) | Prospective study | Combination pembrolizumab + CART19 in R//R led to responses in 3 of 11 patients. 1CR, 2 PRs. | [62] |
