Natalie Sophia Grover, MD, discusses ongoing research with CAR T-cell therapy in hematologic malignancies, efforts examining the potential for this approach in solid tumors, and future directions and challenges with this modality.

Caron Jacobson, MD, discusses the initial ZUMA-5 findings and the next steps with axicabtagene ciloleucel in follicular lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma.

Findings from an exploratory analysis of the phase 1/2 ZUMA-1 trial demonstrated clinical efficacy in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma who were retreated with the CAR T-cell therapy axicabtagene ciloleucel.

Jesus G. Berdeja, MD, further discusses other exciting trials in multiple myeloma and CAR T therapy being presented at the 2020 ASCO Virtual Scientific Program.

Patients with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia and B-cell lymphoma who received the anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy FMC63-28Z experienced highly durable rates of remission, according to long-term data from a phase 1/2 study.

Craig Sauter, MD, discusses the differences between off-the-shelf and autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cell products in patients with hematologic malignancies.

Caron Jacobson, MD, discusses the safety profile of axicabtagene ciloleucel in relapsed/refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy ALLO-501, paired with the monoclonal antibody ALLO-647, demonstrated clinical responses and manageable toxicity in patients with pretreated large B-cell and follicular lymphomas.

The chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, JNJ-4528, continued to demonstrate deep and durable responses in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, according to updated findings from the phase 1b/2 CARTITUDE-1 (NCT03548207) trial.

Tisagenlecleucel led to clinically meaningful and durable improvements in health-related quality of life in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who achieved a complete or partial response to the CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy in the phase 2 JULIET trial.

The FDA has extended the review period for a biologics license application for lisocabtagene maraleucel for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

Peter Voorhees, MD, discusses the evolution of idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel; bb2121) in the phase 2 KarMMa study in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
