Azer-cel elicited strong and durable responses in patients with heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory DLBCL in a phase 1b trial.

Panelists discuss key factors in chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) sequencing for relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, including manufacturing success rates, production turnaround time, and real-world efficacy data. Treatment decisions weigh bridging therapy needs, patient fitness, and center-specific experience with different CAR T products and their reliability.

Panelists discuss the comparison between clinical trial results and real-world outcomes for chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) therapies like liso-cel and axi-cel. Clinical trials have shown promising efficacy and manageable safety profiles for both therapies in treating certain blood cancers. However, real-world evidence continues to emerge through ongoing clinical use and registry data collection.

Liso-cel has been approved by the European Commission for the treatment of adult patients with follicular lymphoma who received 2 or more prior lines of systemic therapy.

Several lymphoma experts discuss the current T-cell lymphoma landscape, the need for new therapies, and ongoing research in the space.

AUTO4 CAR T cells plus fludarabine and cyclophosphamide was well tolerated in patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T cell lymphoma.

Data from the phase 3 STARGLO study support the CHMP’s recommendation for approving glofitamab plus gemcitabine/oxaliplatin in relapsed/refractory DLBCL.

Support for the application comes from the efficacy data reported in the phase 1 ELM-1 and phase 2 ELM-2 trials.

Tambiciclib plus zanubrutinib doubled the expected ORR of zanubrutinib monotherapy, eliciting an ORR of 67% in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL.

Tips from experts on how to think about and manage adverse events in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Adverse physical functions were indicative of reduced survival and increased risk of ICANS in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma who were previously treated with CAR T-cell therapy.

Davide Rossi, MD, spoke about the impact of the MZL workshop and his hopes for the future of treatment and medicine in MZL.

Median PFS and OS were comparable between age groups when CAR T-cell therapy was given as treatment for patients with relapsed/refractory LBCL.

The safety profile of ibrutinib/venetoclax in the phase 3 SYMPATICO trial was consistent with the known profiles for each individual agent.

As MZL is such a rare subtype of lymphoma, it can be hard to find or begin trials geared specifically toward this population.

Clinicians outline the significance of the MZL Workshop, where a gathering of international experts in the field discussed updates in the disease state.

The toxicity profile of loncastuximab tesirine plus rituximab was consistent with prior clinical trials assessing each agent as monotherapy.

Potential contributing factors of marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) were highlighted in a recent discussion with James R. Cerhan, MD, PhD.

Anakinra prophylaxis did not significantly decrease the incidence or severity of CRS or ICANS in patients with LBCL treated with liso-cel.

Juan Alderuccio, MD, discussed treatment strategies for MZL, particularly as they relate to quality of life, and the role of prognosis models on treatment.

Julie M. Vose, MD, MBA, answered questions about the significance and potential impact of MZL Workshop.

Data from the ECHELON-3 trial support the approval of the brentuximab vedotin combo in relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma.

A pathologist discusses the challenges of diagnosing nodal MZL, including its lack of specific defining characteristics.

In the phase 2 TRANSCEND FL trial, lisocabtagene maraleucel met its primary end point of overall response rate in patients with marginal zone lymphoma.

Marginal Zone Lymphoma experts discussed recent advancements in all areas of MZL, while calling attention to gaps in knowledge in the 2024 MZL Scientific Workshop.
