CAR T-Cell Therapy

Jesus Berdeja, MD, shares factors oncologists in the community should consider when referring patients for chimeric antigen receptorT-cell therapy with the newly approved agent ciltacabtagene autoleucel.

In an interview, Jesus Berdeja, MD, discussed the introduction of ciltacabtagene autoleucel into the treatment landscape for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, how it may differ from idecabtagene vicleucel, and the future of CAR T-cell use in the space.

Ciltacabtagene autoleucel had been granted FDA approval for the treatment of select patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Steven M. Albelda, MD, discusses introduction of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in the solid tumor space.

The FDA will conduct a speedy review of the supplemental biologics license application for lisocabtagene maraleucel as second-line treatment for adult patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

Following a report of low CD4-positive T cell counts in a patient’s peripheral blood, the FDA placed a clinical hold on a phase 1 study of LB1901.

Considering later lines of treatment such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, make it difficult for chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy to find its optimal place in the armamentarium.

Clinical trial findings presented during the ASH annual meeting have the potential to change the management of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, according to John M. Burke, MD.

The label for axicabtagene ciloleucel now includes prophylactic corticosteroids use in all approved indications.

Nitin Jain, MD, discusses the preliminary results of a study investigating allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy with lymphodepletion in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

With the rapid advancement of CAR T, there is no doubt that many patients in the future will reap the benefits.

Liso-cel was found to improve quality of life in patients with large B-cell lymphoma compared with standard of care.

Cilta-Cel produced an overall response of 95% in patients with heavily pretreated multiple myeloma.

Updated findings from the CARTITUDE-1 trial presented at the 2021 ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition show that the use of a CAR T-cell therapy resulted in durable responses that lasted at nearly 2 years of follow-up across most subgroups with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Early study results indicate that YTB323 may be effective and safe for the treatment of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Tisagenlecleucel failed to improve event-free survival in the second-line setting of relapsed or refractory aggreesve B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma versus standard-of-care.

Updated results from CARTITUDE-1 reveal deep and durable response to ciltacabtagene autoleucel treatment in patients with multiple myeloma.

According to findings of the ZUMA-12, axicabtagene ciloleucel can induce durable responses in patients with large B-cell lymphoma.

Compared with standard of care, ciltacabtagene autoleucel produces better responses in the setting of heavily pretreated multiple myeloma.

A novel chimeric antigen receptor T-cell agent will now be developed in the United States following an orphan drug designation granted by the FDA.

To address an unmet medical need for agents to treat B-cell malignancies, the FDA has granted an RMAT designation to CTX110, a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy.

Eleven months after a 43-year-old woman with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma completed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, she complained of fever, night sweats, and back pain.

Eleven months after completion of therapy with the R-CHOP regimen, a 43-year-old patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presented with fever, drenching night sweats, and recurrent back pain.

Following treatment with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma require more options. Investigators are now evaluating an interleukin-17 agent.

The CAR T-cell therapy may provide another therapy option for patients with large B-cell lymphoma.
