A Correction on
CAR T cell therapy for central nervous system solid tumors: current progress and future directions

By Kaminskiy Y, Degtyarev V, Stepanov A and Maschan M (2025). Front. Immunol. 16:1600403. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2025.1600403

There was a mistake in Table 1 as published. “CAR T cells in blood; CD3+ T cells correlated with enhanced survival after therapy; ICV beneficial for multifocal tumors and IT beneficial for unifocal tumors; 75% transduction efficiency; IFN-γ, CXCL9 and CXCL10 increase in CNS; Best OS in dual IT/ICV delivery and CD62+ Tn/mem enrichment trial arm;”. The corrected text appears below.

“75% transduction efficiency; CAR T cells in blood; CD3+ T cells correlated with enhanced survival after therapy; ICV beneficial for multifocal tumors and IT beneficial for unifocal tumors; IFN-γ, CXCL9 and CXCL10 increase in CNS; Best OS in dual IT/ICV delivery and CD62+ Tn/mem enrichment trial arm”.

There was a mistake in Table 1 as published. “severe hypoxia at highest dose (without IL-2) likely due to congestion of pulmonary vasculature; 66% transduction efficiency”. The corrected text appears below.

“66% transduction efficiency; severe hypoxia at highest dose (without IL-2) likely due to congestion of pulmonary vasculature”.

There was a mistake in Table 1 as published. “antigen loss or decrease (potentially attributable to chemotherapy); 9/10 SD after 28 days; CAR T cell expansion; CAR T tumor infiltration; 20% transduction efficiency; IDO1, PD-L1, IL- 10 upregulation post therapy;”. The corrected text appears below.

“20% transduction efficiency; antigen loss or decrease (potentially attributable to chemotherapy); 9/10 SD after 28 days; CAR T cell expansion; CAR T tumor infiltration; IDO1, PD-L1, IL- 10 upregulation post therapy”

There was a mistake in Table 1 as published. “3/5 SD tumor necrosis; all (3) patients without C7R progressed after 1st infusion; longer PFS in C7R group; CAR T cell expansion and persistence in group with and without C7R; intratumor C7R transgene and residual GD2 detected in one patient analyzed; grade 4 CRS in one patient;”. The corrected text appears below.

“3/5 SD tumor necrosis; all patients without C7R progressed after 1st infusion; longer PFS in C7R group; CAR T cell expansion and persistence in group with and without C7R; intratumor C7R transgene and residual GD2 detected in one patient analyzed; grade 4 CRS in one patient”

There was a mistake in Table 1 as published. “no antigen loss; in vivo CAR T cell expansion; CAR T tumor infiltration in PD case after IV dose; regression of spinal cord tumor but not metastasis after IV dose; Tregs and MDSCs increase post therapy; dose limiting toxicity for IV but not ICV; manageable TIAN in all patients after ICV infusion correlated with CCL2 upregulation; PD associated with TGF-β upregulation; 57% transduction efficiency”. The corrected text appears below.

“57% transduction efficiency; no antigen loss; in vivo CAR T cell expansion; CAR T tumor infiltration in PD case after IV dose; regression of spinal cord tumor but not metastasis after IV dose; Tregs and MDSCs increase post therapy; dose limiting toxicity for IV but not ICV; manageable TIAN in all patients after ICV infusion correlated with CCL2 upregulation; PD associated with TGF-β upregulation”

There was a mistake in Table 1 as published. “8.1 vs 5.4 months PFS against chemotherapy alone;”. The corrected text appears below.

“8.1 vs 5.4 months PFS against chemotherapy alone”

There was a mistake in Table 1 as published. “17.5 vs 13.6 months OS against standard of therapy;”. The corrected text appears below.

“17.5 vs 13.6 months OS against standard of therapy”

There was a mistake in Table 1 as published. “IL-2-related CNS toxicity at 2.4 MIU dose; eosinophils infiltration;”. The corrected text appears below.

“IL-2-related CNS toxicity at 2.4 MIU dose; eosinophils infiltration”
