CAR T in the Real World: Clinician Perspectives on Outcomes, Toxicity, and Patient Management

Author(s)Krish Patel, MD, Saurabh Dahiya, MD, FACP, Nathan Denlinger, DO, MS

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.
