A quality-of-life analysis from the phase 3 ZUMA-7 trial of axicabtagene ciloleucel in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma shows favorability of the CAR T-cell therapy over standard options.

Treatment with the CAR T-cell therapy tisagenlecleucel for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or high-grade B-cell lymphoma was favorable in both the pivotal clinical trial and the real-world setting, according to new data made available during 2021 ASH.

Data presented at 2021 ASH indicate that 2-year progression-free survival rates were improved when ibrutinib was added to rituximab plus mini-CHOP in an elderly cohort of patients with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Sattva S. Neelapu, MD, spoke about the ZUMA-5 trial and the long-term follow-up results seen with axicabtagene ciloleucel in patients with relapsed or refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Patients with autologous stem cell transplant–ineligible relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma appear to benefit from treatment with tafasitamab and lenalidomide.

Patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma who had been given 2 or more prior lines of therapy and received tisagenlecleucel saw positive efficacy responses.

Anti-tumor activity coupled with a manageable safety profile was noted with the combination of ibrutinib plus loncastuximab tesirine for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma at an interim analysis of the LOTIS-3 trial presented at 2021 ASH.

Durable clinical responses were demonstrated with the use of parsaclisib in patients with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma.

Mosunetuzumab given to patients with heavily pretreated patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma demonstrated an effective response.

Second-line treatment with liscocabtagene maraleucel improved survival compared with the standard of care for patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

A United States indication for duvelisib in previously treated relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma has been voluntarily withdrawn by developer Secura Bio following an assessment of the drug and subsequent consultation with the FDA.

Researchers utilized the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire to examine the prognostic impact on survival of pre-treatment health-related quality of life parameters for patients with newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma.

The FDA has approved rituximab plus chemotherapy for previously untreated pediatric CD20-postive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, Burkitt-like lymphoma, and mature B-cell acute leukemia following results from the phase 3 Inter-B-NHL Ritux 2010 study.

Phase 3 data suggest that concurrent treatment with ibrutinib and venetoclax yielded promising efficacy for patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma.

In this CancerNetwork® OncView™ program, faculty panelist Connie Batlevi, MD, PhD, explains the treatment options in this disease space and discusses a recent drug approval.

The FDA granted priority review to a new drug application for parsaclisib in patients with mantle cell lymphoma and other non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Connie Batlevi, MD, PhD, detailed important updates in therapies for relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma in this episode of CancerNetwork’s® podcast.

Yazeed Sawalha, MD, discusses how often autologous stem cell transplant is utilized in patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

Yazeed Sawalha, MD, discusses how socioeconomic factors may impact the completion of autologous stem cell transplant in patients with mantle cell lymphoma, as well as impacting clinical outcomes.

Patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma who have received 2 prior lines of therapy appear to benefit from treatment with tisagenlecleucel, which was granted a priority review by the FDA.

In an interview with CancerNetwork, Yazeed Sawalha, MD, discussed how socioeconomic factors can affect use of autologous stem cell transplant in multiple myeloma and lead to disparities.

In an interview with ONCOLOGY®, Douglas Braun, CSP, PharmD, RPh, offers a comprehensive review of real-world treatment considerations of umbralisib as therapy for patients with previously treated follicular and marginal zone lymphoma.

As treatment for T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas continues to expand, disparities and inequities continue to grow for those within certain racial groups and of a certain socioeconomic status.

Findings from the phase 1 CARBON trial indicated that patients with relapsed/refractory CD19-positive B-cell malignancies may benefit from CTX110 CAR T-cell therapy.

Caron A. Jacobson, MD, MMSC, highlights data supporting the use of CAR T-cell therapy in patients with indolent lymphoma.
