The rapid emergence of CD20-targeting T-cell engagers in follicular lymphoma and large B-cell lymphoma has further expanded the treatment options for patients with relapsed or refractory disease. Herein, we review and discuss the standard-of-care products and indications for mosunetuzumab, epcoritamab, and glofitamab. We provide a detailed overview of the registrational clinical trials, as well as a review of ongoing trials and likely future indications.

Apheresis is essential to conducting hematopoietic cell transplantation and genetically engineered cellular therapy procedures. Many patients and donors require central venous catheter (CVC) access for apheresis due to lack of adequate peripheral venous access. CVC placement has risks of associated complications and requires additional institutional resources and expertise.

Lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) is an autologous CD19-directed CAR T cell therapy approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). We present a multicenter retrospective study evaluating safety, efficacy, and resource utilization of liso-cel in the standard-of-care setting. Patients received commercial liso-cel at 7 US medical centers and patient selection, toxicity management, and disease assessment followed institutional practices.

Article Synopsis
  • CAR T-cell therapy shows strong initial results for treating relapsed refractory multiple myeloma, but most patients eventually relapse, often within 5 months.
  • In a study of 139 patients who relapsed after CAR T-cell therapy, different salvage therapies were analyzed, revealing that bispecific antibodies, like talquetamab and teclistamab, had the best overall and complete response rates.
  • The presence of extramedullary disease at relapse was linked to poorer outcomes, but bispecific antibodies improved survival rates, suggesting they should be the standard treatment for patients relapsing after CAR T-cell therapy.
