This special edition of the “Oncology Peer Review On-The-Go” podcast details treatment options and considerations for relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma.

Real-world data regarding the use of tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel CAR T-cell therapy are reported at 2021 EHA.

CAR T-cell therapy with axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel; Yescarta) showed promise in patients with high-risk relapsed/refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Real-world evidence evaluating the efficacy of rituximab maintenance following frontline BR or R-CHOP supports its use in mantle cell lymphoma.

Treatment with axicabtagene ciloleucel resulted in improved survival and tumor responses in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma versus other available therapies.

Clinical activity with the combination of naratuximab emtansine plus rituximab was observed in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

The addition of lenalidomide to rituximab continued to improve survival outcomes with durable responses among patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas and mantle cell lymphomas.

Phase 1 data presented at 2021 EHA indicate that a high rate of response was associated with zandelisib plus zanubrutinib therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

The CAR T-cell therapy lisocabtagene maraleucel resulted in better efficacy versus standard of care with no new safety signals.

CAR066, showed a favorable safety profile and promising efficacy in the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who failed prior CD19 CAR T-cell therapy.

Updated data from the pivotal L-MIND trial that were presented at the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting continue to support the use of tafasitamab-cxix in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

The novel combination of polatuzumab vetodin, rituximab and lenalidomide improved overall response and complete response for patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Most patients with either mantle cell lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia who were treated in a phase 1/2 trial had a response to therapy with the combination of cirmtuzumab plus ibrutinib.

The combination of mosunetuzumab plus polatuzumab vedotin showed positive efficacy and safety data in a phase 1b study of patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

A retrospective analysis aims to define treatment outcomes in patients with mantle cell lymphoma who are elderly or unfit for standard therapy.

The radioimmunotherapy 177-Lu lilotomab satetraxetan in combination with rituximab led to a 100% response rate in a small cohort of patients with follicular lymphoma who were receiving treatment in the second-line setting.

Phase 2 data supporting the use of loncastuximab tesirine in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma published in The Lancet Oncology show the agent inducing a response in about half of patients with pretreated disease.

Results of a study found that ctDNA could provide an immediate benefit for mitigating selection bias in DLBCL-centered clinical trials.

Based on phase 1 and 2 trial results and pooled safety data from several clinical trials, zanubrutinib moves forward with a priority review in relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma.

An observational cohort study revealed that BEAM therapy led to subpar outcomes compared with thiotepa-based treatment for patients requiring conditioning regimens for primary central nervous system lymphoma.

An off-the-shelf cellular therapy that combines Epstein Barr Virus–Specific T cells and a CD30-targeting chimeric antigen receptor product demonstrated safety and early efficacy in a group of patients with CD30-positive lymphomas.

The 3-year follow-up analysis of 4 treatment groups who received CNS prophylaxis found a decreased incidence of CNS relapse for patients with high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, although the data were not statistically significant.

The lymphoma expert discussed how adding copanlisib to rituximab improved progression-free survival, while demonstrating a manageable safety profile in patients with relapsed indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The lymphoma expert offered highlights from the meeting, with hopes that more treatment options will be available for patients with lymphoma.

Data from the phase 2 LOTIS-2 clinical trial supported the accelerated approval of loncastuximab tesirine for patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.
