Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor T-lymphocytes (CAR T) targeting the CD19 surface antigen have achieved a breakthrough in the treatment of multiply relapsed and refractory bone marrow (BM) disease in childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL). The ability of CAR T therapy to treat extramedullary (EM) disease is less proven. However, early reports suggest trafficking of CART-cells to the central nervous system (CNS) as well as other EM sites. We describe a case of isolated intraocular relapse of pediatric B-ALL following CAR T-cell therapy, which had successfully controlled multiply relapsed BM and CNS disease. CAR T-cells may not be able to traffic into the eye, making it a "sanctuary" site during therapy.
