Article Synopsis
- Autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation is a common treatment for conditions like multiple myeloma and lymphomas, and it usually involves freezing the stem cells before transplant.* -
- A recent systematic review of 19 transplant centers that performed non-cryopreserved PBSC transplants showed that the procedure is feasible and safe, with high stem cell viability and low rates of complications.* -
- The study found that stem cell viability was over 90% for multiple myeloma and over 75% for lymphomas, with quick engraftment times, and only 1% transplant-related mortality within 100 days.*
The goal of this review is to firstly address the concept of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T-cell) therapy and where it fits in the evolving landscape of the management of patients with refractory/relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The recognition of the indications for CAR T-cell therapy for patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma will be discussed, including a review of the algorithms and selection criteria for CAR T-cell therapy and finally, the role of bridging therapy and the timing of CAR T-cell therapy in augmenting chances of a successful outcome.
