CD19\u2010directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T\u2010cell therapy has shown promising activity in this setting; however, the available evidence remains limited and heterogeneous.

The pooled CR rate was 52% in PCNSL and 40% in SCNSL. CRS occurred in 76% of patients with PCNSL and 77% with SCNSL, while ICANS occurred in 50% and 46%, respectively.
