Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has heralded a new era in oncology, delivering unprecedented clinical responses for patients grappling with aggressive hematological malignancies, including relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, various forms of B-cell lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. However, the powerful immune response utilized by CAR-T cells, although beneficial in treatment, may also trigger a series of serious adverse events. Among these, neurotoxicity stands as a critical challenge, demanding sophisticated understanding and targeted management strategies to ensure patient safety and maximize therapeutic efficacy. At Creative Biolabs, our two decades of specialized expertise in biological research position us at the forefront of addressing this complex frontier.

The successful navigation of CAR-T associated neurotoxicity hinges on a profound understanding of its underlying mechanisms. This requires rigorous preclinical investigation, for which CAR-T model studies are indispensable. These sophisticated models allow researchers to dissect the complex interplay between activated CAR-T cells, systemic inflammation, and the delicate neurological environment.
The primary neurotoxic syndromes observed post-CAR-T infusion include: Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS), and Tumor Inflammation-Associated Neurotoxicity (TIAN). Through meticulous in vitro and in vivo model systems, Creative Biolabs' services facilitate the identification of crucial predictive biomarkers and risk factors for these neurotoxic events. For instance, preclinical insights have highlighted that high tumor burden and early-onset or high-grade CRS can serve as significant risk factors for subsequent ICANS development, guiding proactive clinical management.
Creative Biolabs offers a comprehensive suite of CAR-T model related neurodamage study services, meticulously designed to accelerate the development of safer and more effective cellular immunotherapies. Our offerings are grounded in scientific rigor and leverage our extensive experience:
A critical component of understanding CAR-T related neurotoxicity involves thoroughly characterizing the phenotypic changes induced in preclinical models. Creative Biolabs provides comprehensive assessments of neurological dysfunction, including detailed behavioral evaluations (e.g., locomotor activity, cognitive function tests), electrophysiological recordings (e.g., EEG for seizure activity), and advanced imaging techniques (e.g., MRI for brain edema or inflammation). These assessments allow for precise quantification of neurodamage severity, progression, and response to therapeutic interventions, offering crucial translational insights into clinical manifestations of ICANS and TIAN.
Delving into the molecular underpinnings of CAR-T neurotoxicity, our gene discovery service utilizes cutting-edge genomics and transcriptomics approaches. We identify key genes and pathways that are dysregulated during neurotoxic events, providing a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms. This service is invaluable for identifying novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers specific to CAR-T induced neurodamage, facilitating the development of highly targeted and effective mitigation strategies.
