The FDA has placed a hold on the clinical program for the investigational new drug CART-ddBCMA for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

A single administration of lisocabtagene maraleucel provided deep and durable remissions when used as third-line treatment in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma, including those with high-risk features.

The CAR T-cell therapy lisocabtagene maraleucel produced rapid and durable responses in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma.

Claire Roddie, MD, discusses the rationale for investigating obecabtagene autoleucel in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, details the key topline findings from the FELIX trial, and provides insights on unmet needs that remain for this patient population.

The real-world efficacy and safety of brexucabtagene autoleucel were similar to the outcomes seen in the phase 2 ZUMA-2 trial, regardless of patients’ treatment history, according to results from a real-world subgroup analysis of patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma.

Swetha Kambhampati, MD, discusses key findings from an analysis of real-world efficacy outcomes with brexucabtagene autoleucel in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma.

Mary “Nora” Disis, MD, discusses the results of a phase 1/1b study of PRGN-3005 autologous UltraCAR T cells in patients with advanced stage platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

The FDA has granted priority and standard review designations to the biologics license applications for exagamglogene autotemcel for the treatment of patients with sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia, respectively, marking the first CRISPR gene editing filings to be accepted for review by the FDA.

A supplemental biologics license application seeking the approval of ciltacabtagene autoleucel for use in adult patients with relapsed and lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma who have previously received at least 1 line of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent, has been submitted to the FDA.

Second-line treatment with axicabtagene ciloleucel significantly improved overall survival compared with high-dose therapy plus autologous stem cell transplant in patients with early relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

Ciltacabtagene autoleucel significantly improved progression-free survival over standard-of-care pomalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone or daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in patients with lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma who received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy.

The BCMA- and CD19-targeted CAR T-cell therapy GC012F continued to demonstrate a favorable safety profile with no new safety signals, and it elicited deep and durable responses in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
