Axicabtagene ciloleucel compared to tisagenlecleucel for the treatment of aggressive B-cell lymphoma

Mi Kwon et al.

Summary: This retrospective study evaluated the safety and efficacy of Axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) and tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) outside of clinical trials. The results showed that the real-world experience with these CAR-T cell therapies was comparable to the pivotal trial results.

Pharmacodynamics and molecular correlates of response to glofitamab in relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Ann-Marie E. Broeske et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical activity of a novel antibody called glofitamab in relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients and provided evidence of its pharmacodynamic profile, mode of action, and factors associated with clinical response by evaluating biomarkers. The results showed that glofitamab can activate T cells, inhibit tumor cells, and is associated with certain tumor characteristics.

The CAR-HEMATOTOX risk-stratifies patients for severe infections and disease progression after CD19 CAR-T in R/R LBCL

Kai Rejeski et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the utility of the HT score for risk-stratifying patients for infectious complications and poor survival outcomes prior to CD19 CAR-T therapy. High-risk patients may benefit from anti-infective prophylaxis and close monitoring for potential infections and relapse. Patients with high HT scores are more likely to develop severe infections, which represent a common cause of non-relapse mortality after CAR-T.

A real-world comparison of tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel CAR T cells in relapsed or refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma

Emmanuel Bachy et al.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy and toxicity of Axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) and tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The results showed that axi-cel had better overall response rate, complete response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival compared to tisa-cel. However, axi-cel also had higher frequency of cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome compared to tisa-cel.

Interventions and outcomes of adult patients with B-ALL progressing after CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy

Kitsada Wudhikarn et al.

Summary: CD19-targeted CAR T-cell therapy is a breakthrough treatment for relapsed/refractory B-ALL patients, but most adult patients progress after treatment. Although some patients achieve sustained remissions with salvage treatments such as blinatumomab, inotuzumab, and reinfusion of CAR T cells, the overall prognosis remains poor. Novel therapeutic strategies are needed to reduce the risk of progression and improve outcomes for these patients.

CAR-HEMATOTOX: a model for CAR T-cell-related hematologic toxicity in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma

Kai Rejeski et al.

Summary: Hematotoxicity is a common adverse event in CAR T-cell therapy, with baseline thrombocytopenia and hyperferritinemia being significant predictive markers. The CAR-HEMATOTOX model can accurately predict the occurrence of severe neutropenia.

Prognostic Impact of 18F-FDG PET/CT in Patients With Aggressive B-Cell Lymphoma Treated With Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells

Pierre Sesques et al.

Summary: The study found that metabolic volume kinetics before CAR T-cell infusion is superior in predicting progression-free survival (PFS), while SUVmax at M1 can effectively segregate patients with different prognosis for overall survival (OS).

Bispecific antibodies for the treatment of lymphomas: Promises and challenges

Stephen J. Schuster

Summary: Bispecific antibodies can redirect T cell-mediated cytotoxicity towards tumor cells by combining T-cell receptor-specific monoclonal antibodies with tumor-targeting antibodies, thereby focusing cytotoxic effects on tumor cells independently of T-cell receptor specificity. Early results from phase 1 clinical trials targeting CD20 on B cells and engaging T cells via CD3 have shown promising potential for treating relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphomas.

Polatuzumab vedotin as a salvage and bridging treatment in relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphomas

Nora Liebers et al.

Summary: The antibody-drug conjugate polatuzumab vedotin (pola) in combination with bendamustine and rituximab (pola-BR) has shown efficacy for patients with refractory or relapsed large B-cell lymphoma in a real-world setting. The treatment achieved encouraging overall response rates in salvage therapy and successfully bridged a significant number of patients to CAR T-cell therapy. These findings suggest that pola may serve as an effective salvage and bridging treatment option for patients with refractory or relapsed LBCL.
