Case Report: Lymphodepletion followed by CAR-T cell therapy with Idecabtagen vicleucel in a patient with severe renal impairment.

Acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease is common in multiple myeloma. Fludarabine which is part of lymphodepletion before CAR-T cell therapy is renally eliminated and its use is not recommended for patients with severe renal impairment defined as a glomerular filtration rate below 30ml/min/1.73m². We administered fludarabine to a 58-year-old female patient with myeloma-associated severe renal impairment as part of lymphodepletion before Idecabtagen vicleucel infusion. Fludarabine was administered in reduced dose (15mg/m² ) and cyclophosphamide with a dose of 300mg/m² followed by hemodialysis over six hours using a larger filter (FX-100). The therapy was well tolerated with excellent CAR-T cell expansion and complete remission which is ongoing now beyond 12 months. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
