“…20 Interestingly, clonal hematopoiesis, especially that driven by mutations of the DNMT3A, TET2, and ASXL1 genes, is associated with an increased risk of severe neurotoxicity, including ICANS, in patients with DLBCL treated with CAR T cells (axicabtagene). 21 This is likely due to the association of clonal hematopoiesis with systemic inflammation, as Other risk factors for ICANS include younger age, higher tumor burden, pre-existing neurological symptoms, preadministrated lymphodepletion agents, severe CRS, and high CSF protein level after treatment. 22 Proper management should be according to the grade of ICANS.…”
