TTV-CART: TORQUETENOVIRUS IN CAR-T THERAPY: PREDICTION OF THE CRS
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Torque Teno Virus (TTV) prevalence in the general population is very high (>90%) and has not been consistently confirmed to cause any disease. Kidney transplant studies seem to indicate that an elevated viremia could predict the risk of de-veloping an infectious process in the following weeks. An study of the influence of TTV as a predictive marker of infection in kidney transplant recipi-ents showed higher TTV levels, even 3 months before the infectious process, allowing the authors to postulate that the quantification of TTV could help to modulate the treatment of patients at risk. Publications of subsequent studies seem to confirm these data.In the field of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) few studies have analyzed the replication kinetics of TTV. There seems to be a drop in TTV plasma load after conditioning treatment, with a progressive increase in the first months post-transplant, in parallel with the number of lymphocytes. In early stages of HSCT, a relation-ship between TTV replication kinetics and the probability of developing an infection by CMV has also been described. Likewise, the possible relationship of TTV with other complications of HSCT, such as Epstein-Barr virus infection (EBV) or graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), have been reported. However, not every study conducted to date show this line of results.

Detailed Description
Torque Teno Virus (TTV) is the prototype of the Anelloviridae family-single chain and circular viruses. These viruses form about 70% of the human virome. TTV prevalence in the general population is very high (>90%) and has not been consistently confirmed to cause any disease. Kidney transplant studies seem to indicate that an elevated viremia could predict the risk of de-veloping an infectious process (bacterial, viral or fungal) in the following weeks. A group of research analyzed the influence of TTV as a predictive marker of infection in 169 kidney transplant recipi-ents. Patients with infection showed higher TTV levels, even 3 months before the infectious process, allowing its authors to postulate that the quantification of TTV could help to modulate the treatment of patients at risk (reducing immunosuppression, introducing or prolonging antimi-crobial prophylaxis). Publications of subsequent studies with greater number of patients seem to confirm these data. Likewise, in the specific case of CMV infection, the quantification of TTV in the early stages of kidney or liver transplantation also allows identification of patients at risk of developing a CMV infection. In the field of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) few studies have analyzed the replication kinetics of TTV. There seems to be a drop in TTV plasma load after conditioning treatment, with a progressive increase in the first months post-transplant, in parallel with the number of lymphocytes. In early stages of HSCT, a relation-ship between TTV replication kinetics and the probability of developing an infection by CMV has also been described. Likewise, the possible relationship of TTV with other complications of HSCT, such as Epstein-Barr virus infection (EBV) or graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), have been reported. However, not every study conducted to date show this line of results. An other research analyzed 2054 blood samples from 123 patients undergoing HSCT, finding no significant differences between TTV and post-transplant complications, such as viral reactivations (CMV, EBV or adenovirus), acute GvHD, relapse or mortality
