Transplant and Cellular Immunotherapy NEWS
The Immunotherapy Program at Northside Hospital Cancer InstituteBy: Melhem Solh, MD
The immune system, in addition to fighting infections, plays a key role in preventing cancer from occurring by identifying abnormal cells and destroying them before they develop into active malignancy. It is the ability of some of these cells to evade the immune system attack that results in patients developing cancers. Cancer immunotherapy works by boosting, re-training or engineering the patient’s immune system to be more efficient at fighting cancer. Recent advances in immunotherapy provide a road map to treat and potentially cure refractory cancers, especially blood cancers and a hope that some day to be the mainstay of cancer treatment.
The Immunotherapy Program at Northside was established to provide patients in Georgia and surrounding states access to cutting-edge clinical research trials as well as commercially available immunotherapies. The mission of this Northside Cancer Institute Program is to provide exceptional care and superior survival outcomes. The program brings together expert Northside physicians in all areas of cancer sub-specialties, supported by a team of patient coordinators, nurses, midlevels, research staff, health psychologists, dietitians, physical and occupational therapists, immune cell collection and processing facility and a nationally recognized blood and marrow transplant team to provide a collaborative approach for rapid implementation of scientific advances in cancer immunotherapy.
In addition to being a certified center for the FDA-approved chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies (Kymriah®, Tecartus™, and Yescarta®), the program has several ongoing immunotherapy trials ranging from conjugate antibodies, bispecific T cell engagers, CAR T-cell therapies (autologous and allogeneic), virus specific T cells, multi tumor-associated antigen T cells and natural killer (NK) cell therapies that encompass a variety of malignant and infectious etiologies including acute leukemias, multiple myeloma and lymphomas and COVID-19.
Please review our immunotherapy clinical research trials. If you have a question regarding study eligibility, please contact Stacey Brown, Northside BMT/Leukemia clinical research manager, at 404.780.7965 or [email protected].

Dr. Scott Solomon Co-Authors Novel Clinical Research CAR T-Cell Peer Reviewed Article
CAR T-Cell Outpatient Infusion Is Now Available
The Immunotherapy Program at Northside Hospital participated in a pivotal clinical research trial entitled, “A global randomized, multicenter phase 3 trial to compare the efficacy and safety of JCAR017 to standard of care in adult subjects with high-risk, transplant-eligible relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (TRANSFORM).” Study results were recently published in the peer-reviewed medical journal Lancet.
Major highlights of the study were: • Complete response (CR): 53%, 65% of which maintained past one year • Cytokine release syndrome (CRS): median five days, grade 3/4 in 2% • Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS): median nine days, grade 3/4 in 9% • Prolonged grade 3/4 cytopenias past day 29 in 37%
We thank all of our patients and staff members who participated in this important clinical research trial.
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies are at the forefront of adoptive cell transfer therapies, in which patients’ own immune cells are utilized to treat their cancer. With autologous CAR T-cell therapy, the patient’s blood is collected, and T cells are then genetically modified and reinfused into the patient. The use of adoptive cell therapy after administration of an immunodepleting preparative regimen has been shown to provide curative potential for otherwise refractory blood malignancies.
CAR T-cell therapies are currently administered at a limited number of Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) accredited cancer centers, are primarily delivered in an inpatient setting and require a post-infusion admission for several days. Patients may experience an exaggerated immune response known as cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which could result in significant morbidity and mortality if not diagnosed and treated promptly. However, ongoing clinical experience has provided the safety and feasibility of administering CAR T-cell therapy as an outpatient process in clinical practices. Not all CAR T-cell products are the same and therefore have varying toxicity profiles. A true assessment of the appropriate setting for the administration of a patient’s cellular therapy is dependent upon the CAR T-cell product utilized, patient disease status, availability of caregivers to ensure specific safety requirements for the safe administration and monitoring of the patient and the experience of the center providing treatment.
The Immunotherapy Program at Northside Hospital is currently offering several CAR T-cell therapy outpatient infusions, where the patient is followed on a daily basis in the outpatient clinic. This transition mirrors our current autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy program. The patient must be an approved candidate for outpatient therapy with an available caregiver to provide daily outpatient visits as well as live close to the treatment center in the event he or she needs to be quickly admitted if signs of CRS or neurotoxicity symptoms develop.
Post-infusion, close monitoring of the patient is required to assess for any complications. CAR T-cell therapies are not all the same and may have varying degrees of side effects and toxicities. Patients and family/caregivers must fully understand the specific side effect profile for the CAR T-cell product administered. Caregivers

early management of any complications. If a patient develops serious side effects, hospital admission will be required. The potential for a hospital admission will be planned, so the patient can be fast-tracked to a designated bed.
For select hematologic malignancies, CAR T-cell therapy has succeeded where conventional therapies have failed. The Immunotherapy Program at Northside continues to offer hope to patients who have exhausted all other treatment options, ushering in a new era of cancer treatment.
