CAR T-Cell Therapy

Karl M. Kilgore, PhD, discusses how results of real-world analysis may impact the utilization of CAR T-cell therapy for older patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Bristol-Myers Squibb has submitted a biologics license application to the FDA seeking approval of the anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy lisocabtagene maraleucel for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma after at least 2 prior therapies.

The CAR T cell therapy bb21217 demonstrated high very good partial response or better rates in patients with heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Steroid use while cytokine release syndrome and neurologic toxicities are at grade 1, instead of waiting until grade 3, reduces the rate of CAR T-cell treatment–related CRS and neurologic events.

CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy induced a high rate of rapid and durable complete responses in patients with aggressive relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

The CAR T-cell therapy axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel; Yescarta) induced a median overall survival of 25.8 months for patients with refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

Joshua P. Sasine, MD, PhD, spotlights some of the strategies under investigation to improve the safety and efficacy of CAR T-cell therapy in hematologic malignancies.

Early results from a prospective postmarketing assessment showed that tisagenlecleucel induced responses similar to those seen in pivotal trials for children and adolescents with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and adults with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
