Tisagenlecleucel produced a high overall response rate and complete response rate in adult patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma who had received 2 or more prior lines of therapy, according to results from an extended follow-up analysis of patients with at least 12 months of follow-up of the phase 2 ELARA trial.

Axicabtagene ciloleucel induced high response rates and improved survival in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma, according to updated data from the phase 2 ZUMA-5 trial.
