This retrospective study estimated postinfusion health care resource utilization (HCRU) by site of care among 303 patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma who received third- or later-line treatment with lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) in the TRANSCEND NHL 001 and OUTREACH trials. Inpatients ( = 256) had higher rates of hospitalization versus outpatients ( = 47; >99% vs 62%), by definition, and higher rates of tocilizumab use for cytokine release syndrome and/or neurological events (22% vs 9%). Rates of intensive care unit admission, corticosteroid use, vasopressor use, hemodialysis, and intubation were generally low and similar between groups.

Using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) and the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire, we evaluated the impact of CAR T-cell treatment with lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and symptoms in patients with relapsed/refractory LBCL in the ongoing, open-label, nonrandomized TRANSCEND NHL 001 trial. Clinically meaningful improvement was observed in EORTC QLQ-C30 scores for global health status/QoL, based on a minimally important difference of 10 points at 2 to 18 months after liso-cel infusion.
