Rates of clinical trial initiation, novel drug development, and collaborative research and development deals were oncology.

The majority of patients with indolent follicular lymphoma do well with observation and after first-line treatment, but approximately 20% experience disease progression within 2 years of their initial treatment, which is associated with a 50% risk of dying within 5 years. Subsequently, this is an area of unmet need but one in which considerable progress is being made.

The rituximab biosimilar CT-P10 produced response and survival rates that were comparable to those previously reported with the reference product, along with acceptable tolerability, in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Tafasitamab-cxix plus lenalidomide and R-CHOP may have synergistic potential and could represent a potential future treatment option for patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

The combination of naratuximab emtansine and rituximab yielded deep responses, and a duration of response that was not reached in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

In the first few years of their availability in the United States, axicabtagene ciloleucel and tisagenlecleucel have been used to mostly treat patients with diffuse large b-cell lymphoma in the outpatient setting who are receiving the CAR T-cell therapies prior to failure on 2 prior lines of therapy.

Axicabtagene ciloleucel demonstrated significant clinical activity with durable responses in patients with relapsed/refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma who experienced disease progression within 24 months from initiation of the first anti-CD20–containing chemotherapy, which is a high-risk clinical feature.

The combination of lenalidomide and rituximab continued to improve progression-free survival with durable outcomes and a manageable safety profile in patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas and mantle cell lymphomas.

OncLive sits down with Sandy Wong, MD; Neal Shore, MD; and Loretta Nastoupil, MD, to share the the insight on data in multiple myeloma, prostate cancer, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma at the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting.

C-CAR066 exhibited a favorable safety profile and promising efficacy in adult patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who failed with prior CD19 CAR T-cell therapy.

The second-generation 4-1BB bi-specific CAR T-cell therapy C-CAR039 improved response rates and showed favorable safety in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Two cases of cytokine release syndrome occurred during the first cycle of step-up dosing; however, both were considered non-severe and were treated without the need of tocilizumab, admission to the ICU or use of vasopressors.

Matthew Lunning, DO, discusses the efficacy of axicabtagene ciloleucel in patients with relapsed/refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
