The final portion of the program shifts to case-based discussion, with the panel applying earlier debates to real-world clinical scenarios in relapsed/refractory DLBCL. The first case, a fit 58-year-old with early relapse, prompts consensus around rapid movement to CAR-T therapy with bridging strategies such as polatuzumab-based regimens, whereas the second case highlights challenges related to primary refractory disease and inconsistent caregiver support. The program concludes with closing remarks and a debate winner announcement, reinforcing the collaborative nature of evolving treatment strategies in LBCL.

The teams debate whether CAR-T or bispecific antibodies should be prioritized as the treatment paradigm evolves in relapsed large B-cell lymphoma, with Team NYC centering the argument on “cure” and the curative-intent potential/plateau of CAR-T outcomes. Team Roswell agrees cure is the goal but argues that real-world access barriers and “off-the-shelf” availability make bispecifics, and especially emerging combination strategies, crucial for patients who cannot reliably reach or complete CAR-T. The discussion highlights a key tradeoff: CAR T as a one-time, time-limited intervention vs bispecifics requiring ongoing dosing and infrastructure, with durability, infection risk, and sequencing still actively evolving.
