Pembrolizumab Following ASCT Generates Promising PFS in T-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Craig Sauter, MD, discusses the rationale for investigating maintenance pembrolizumab following autologous stem cell transplant in patients with T-cell NHL and explained some of the potential challenges of investigating this regimen in a larger prospective trial in this patient population.
UK’s MHRA Approves Zanubrutinib for CLL and MZL
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency has approved zanubrutinib in Great Britain for both the treatment of adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and the treatment of adult patients with marginal zone lymphoma who have received at least one prior anti-CD20–based therapy.
Glofitamab Plus R-CHOP Displays Tolerable Safety Profile in Treatment-Naïve DLBCL
January 3rd 2023Max S. Topp, MD, highlights the rationale for studying bispecific antibodies in newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, how the safety profile of glofitamab plus R-CHOP contributes to its potential for outpatient administration, and where future directions with this research may lead.
Japan Approves Second-line Axi-cel for LBCL
Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has approved axicabtagene ciloleucel for the initial treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, transformed follicular lymphoma, and high-grade B-cell lymphoma.
The regimen of lenalidomide in combination with rituximab with bendamustine are effective therapies for relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma, with high rates of overall and complete metabolic response by PET, according to data from the randomized phase 2 HOVON110/Rebel trial.
Glofitamab Induces 39% CR Rate in Relapsed/Refractory DLBCL
Glofitamab, an investigational CD20xCD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody, demonstrated promising results in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who received at least 2 prior lines of therapy.
Mosunetuzumab Elicits Long-Term Responses in Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma
Mosunetuzumab demonstrated durable responses and a low rate of adverse events linked with treatment discontinuation in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma, according to an updated analysis of the pivotal phase 2 GO29781 study.
Dr Abramson on the Efficacy of Second-line Liso-cel Vs SOC in Relapsed/Refractory LBCL
December 12th 2022Jeremy Abramson, MD, discusses the efficacy data of second-line lisocabtagene maraleucel vs standard-of-care salvage chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant from the phase 3 TRANSFORM trial done in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.
Liso-Cel Second-Line Superiority to Standard of Care Confirmed in LBCL
Second-line treatment with lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel; Breyanzi) reduced the risk of an event occurring by 64.4% compared with standard-of-care chemoimmunotherapy induction and autologous stem cell transplantation for patients with high-risk relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.
Rapcabtagene Autoleucel Induces Deep, Durable Responses in Relapsed/Refractory DLBCL
December 11th 2022The CD19-targeted CAR T-cell therapy rapcabtagene autoleucel was found to be well tolerated and to yield durable responses in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who had undergone 2 or more prior lines of therapy.
