Zusammenfassung

Die Therapie mit CAR-T-Zellen (CAR: chimärer Antigenrezeptor) revolutionierte die Behandlung maligner B‑Zell-Erkrankungen. Dabei werden den Patienten genetisch modifizierte körpereigene T‑Zellen reinfundiert. In Europa sind bisher 2 Präparate namens Tisagenlecleucel und Axicabtagen-Ciloleucel für die Behandlung bestimmter maligner B‑Zell-Erkrankungen zugelassen. Die Ansprechraten in den jeweiligen Zulassungsstudien übertrafen diejenigen nach Standardtherapie bei Weitem. Dennoch gehen derartige zellbasierte Therapien auch mit z. T. bedrohlichen Nebenwirkungen einher. Neben dem Zytokinfreisetzungssyndrom sind bei den behandelten Patienten insbesondere neurologische Symptome unterschiedlichen Schweregrades zu beobachten. In diesem Artikel sollen die Charakteristika dieser neurologischen Symptome sowie Empfehlungen zum Monitoring und zur Behandlung der Neurotoxizität beleuchtet werden. Zusätzlich werden Hypothesen zur Pathogenese der CAR-T-Zell-assoziierten Neurotoxizität diskutiert.
