CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T (CD19CAR-T) cell therapy has shown striking response in treating relapsed and refractory B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r B-ALL). However, side-effects including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity can be fatal to patients. In this report, five patients with r/r B-ALL were treated with CD19CAR-T cells. Cytokine release syndrome experienced by four patients who achieved complete remission (CR) with minimal residual disease (MRD) negative. One patient who did not response to the treatment had no CRS. Acute toxicities including fever, hypotension and other neurological toxicities occurred in responding patients within 2 weeks post infusion and managed properly with tocilizumab and/or steroids according to the "real-time" monitoring of a simple 6 Th1/Th2 cytokine pattern. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that CD19CAR-T cell therapy can be safely administered for patients with relapsed and refractory leukemia under the "real-time" monitoring of a simple 6-cytokine pattern.
