Bispecific Antibodies vs CAR T-Cell Therapy: Treatment Selection and Sequencing in Later-Line R/R DLBCL
Author(s)Rita Assi, MD , Girish Kunapareddy, MD
Experts discuss how they sequence bispecifics and other available therapies in the third-line setting and beyond for patients who did not receive chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR T) in the second-line setting, and whether their approach changes for those who have or have not received prior auto-transplant.
