Brad Kahl, MD, professor in the Department of Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Siteman Cancer Center, discusses the potential of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).

There is a lot of potential for CAR T cells in MCL, explains Kahl. MCL is not yet a curable disease, so eventually all patients will relapse and require subsequent lines of therapy. Ibrutinib (Imbruvica) and acalabrutinib (Calquence) are very effective, but they have a finite impact on response. Physicians need additional agents to combat these relapses.

Kahl is hopeful that CAR T-cell therapy will be a great option for these patients. There are not enough data to conclude that CAR T cells will have a significant impact on the treatment paradigm, but it seems to be a very promising treatment strategy, states Kahl. Physicians are anticipating more data within the next 1 or 2 years in patients with MCL.
