CD19-directed CAR T cells as first salvage therapy for large B-cell lymphoma: towards a rational approach

Authors:
Peter Dreger, Paolo Corradini, John G Gribben, Bertram Glass, Mats Jerkeman, Marie Jose Kersten, Franck Morschhauser, Alberto Mussetti, Andreas Viardot, Pier Luigi Zinzani, Anna Sureda; European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation and the European Hematology Association Lymphoma Group

Effective bridging therapy can improve CD19 CAR-T outcomes while maintaining safety in patients with large B-cell lymphoma

Authors:
Claire Roddie, Lorna Neill, Wendy Osborne, Sunil Iyengar, Eleni Tholouli, David Irvine, Sridhar Chaganti, Caroline Besley, Adrian Bloor, Ceri Jones, Ben Uttenthal, Rod Johnson, Robin Sanderson, Kathleen Cheok, Maria Marzolini, William Townsend, Maeve O'Reilly, Amy A. Kirkwood, Andrea Kuhnl

Journal (Date):

Blood Adv (2023)


Abstract Excerpt:

“Here, we report outcomes of bridging therapy (BT) in 375 adult patients with r/r LBCL undergoing leukapheresis for Axi-cel or Tisa-cel. The objectives of the study were to identify which patients respond to BT (including those who achieve CR to BT and proceed to CAR-T infusion), and a comparison of the impact of BT on CAR-T therapy safety and efficacy outcomes between patient groups treated with Axi-cel and Tisa-cel.”

Transplant-ineligible but chimeric antigen receptor T cells eligible: a real and relevant population

Authors:
Samuel Vic, Jean Lemoine, Philippe Armand,
François Lemonnier, Roch Houot

Journal (Date):

European Journal of Cancer (2022)


Abstract Excerpt:

“As the relative role of ASCT and CAR T-cells evolves, recognizing and defining this population may be increasingly relevant. Here, we review criteria which may help identify this 'ASCT-ineligible but CAR T-cells eligible' population of patients.”

CAR T cells as a second-line therapy for large B-cell lymphoma: a paradigm shift?

Authors:
Jason Westin and Laurie Sehn

Journal (Date):

Blood (2022)


Abstract Excerpt:

“In this review, we interpret the design and results of 3 randomized phase 3 trials comparing CAR T-cell therapy and ASCT and their implications for CAR T-cell therapy as a potential new standard of care for second-line treatment in appropriate patients with refractory or early relapsing LBCL.”
