David Miklos, MD, associate professor of medicine, Blood and Marrow Transplantation, and clinical director of Cancer Cell Therapy at Stanford University Medical Center, discusses alternative options to the investigational CAR T-cell therapy KTE-X19 for patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), while awaiting a regulatory decision from the FDA.

In February 2020, the FDA granted a priority review designation to a biologics license application (BLA) for KTE-X19 as a treatment in adult patients with relapsed/refractory MCL based on data from the phase 2 ZUMA-2 trial.

While awaiting the FDA’s decision regarding indication, price, etc., an expanded access trial is open at the same centers that in which the ZUMA-2 trial was conducted. Patients can be referred to those centers at this time and they will then be treated on a trial with close data acquisition for both clinical and adverse event collection, says Miklos. While awaiting the FDA’s decision, there is a bridge to help patients who are intolerant or refractory to BTK inhibition. Very few options are currently available to this patient population, concludes Miklos.
