November 24, 2020 - Until now, the field of cell-based immunotherapy has been dominated by chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, with groundbreaking FDA approvals for 3 drugs across several types of hematologic malignancies. In solid tumors, however, CAR T-cell therapies have yet to gain ground.
A panel of lymphoma experts discuss several novel agents for relapsed/ refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, some of which have been recently approved.
Experts discussed the ZUMA-2 clinical trial of brexucabtagene autoleucel.
The goal of the CARTITUDE-1 study was to evaluate the use of ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel; JNJ-68284528) chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
Jia Ruan, MD, PhD, discusses future research with CAR T-cell therapy in mantle cell lymphoma.
The director of the Lymphoma Clinical Research Program at University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center discussed axi-cel's safety profile and an important factor for improving access to CAR-T therapies.
Long term survival was limited and all patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia eventually relapsed.
The CAR-T, marketed as Kymriah, showed a 4-year overall survival rate of 79.3% and a median progression-free survival of 53.3 months.
In this population, median progression-free survival was nearly 40 months.
