Cytopenia is one of the most common adverse events following the CAR-T cell infusion, affecting the quality of life and potentially leading to life-threatening bleeding and infection. This study aimed to systematically review the cytopenias following anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy and further analyse the contributing factors. Databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane were systematically searched on 8 May 2022. A random-effect meta-analysis was used to estimate the incidence of cytopenia, and subgroup analyses were applied to explore heterogeneity. A total of 68 studies involving 2950 patients were included in this study. The overall incidence of all grade anaemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, leukopoenia, lymphocytopenia and febrile neutropenia was 65%, 55%, 78%, 62%, 70% and 27%, respectively, and the corresponding cytopenias of grade 3 or worse were 33%, 31%, 61%, 45%, 46%, and 21%, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed increased incidence of cytopenias in subgroups with lower median age, proportion of males (&lt;65%) and proportion of bridging therapy (&lt;80%) and in the subgroup with a median line of prior therapy ≥3. In terms of disease and therapeutic target, cytopenias were more frequent in ALL patients and in dual-target CAR-T therapies (targeting CD19 in combination with other targets). Furthermore, CAR-T products manufactured by lentiviral vectors and those with the costimulatory domain of CD28 were more likely to cause haematological toxicity. No significant differences were observed in cytopenia between patients treated with CAR-T products with murine and humanized scFv. In conclusion, neutropenia is the most frequent cytopenia after CAR-T therapy, both in all grades or grade ≥3. The incidence of cytopenias following CAR-T therapy is influenced by the age, sex, disease and number of prior therapy lines of the patients, as well as the target and costimulatory domain of CAR-T cells, and viral vectors used for manufacturing.KEY MESSAGESNeutropenia is the most frequent cytopenia after CAR-T therapy.The clinical characteristics of the patients, the design of CAR-T cells and the protocol of CAR-T treatment can influence the occurrence of cytopenias following the CAR-T therapy. Neutropenia is the most frequent cytopenia after CAR-T therapy. The clinical characteristics of the patients, the design of CAR-T cells and the protocol of CAR-T treatment can influence the occurrence of cytopenias following the CAR-T therapy.
