ABSTRACT
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy targeting CD19 (CART19) has shown remarkable results in patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In patients 25 years of age or younger CART19 therapy is an accepted standard of care, while the treatment of older adults is less straight forward and possible only in the context of a clinical trial. Treatment of older patients with CAR T cells requires careful consideration of overall treatment goals, suitability of a consolidative hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), alternative treatment options, patient risk profile, and anticipated responses and toxicities of the specific CAR T cell products available. Here we use patient guided examples to inform approaches to care.
