Article Synopsis
  • - Outcomes for patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) are generally poor; however, the FDA approved Loncastuximab-teserine (Lonca) based on the LOTIS-2 trial results for those who have undergone at least two prior treatments.
  • - A retrospective study analyzed 187 patients from 21 US centers treated with Lonca, revealing a complete response rate of 14% and an overall response rate of 32%, indicating lower efficacy in a real-world setting compared to the original trial.
  • - Patients in this study had higher risk features, including bulky disease and high-grade B-cell histology, leading to poorer median event-free survival (2.1 months

While antibody-based immunotherapeutic strategies have revolutionized the treatment of B-cell lymphomas, progress in T-cell lymphomas has suffered from suboptimal targets, disease heterogeneity, and limited effective treatment options. Nonetheless, recent advances in our understanding of T-cell biology, the identification of novel targets, and the emergence of new therapies provide hope for the future. In this review, we explore four areas of current and evolving antibody-based strategies for the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL): monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), bispecific antibodies (BsAs), chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T), and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).

Optimal treatment strategies for (relapsed and refractory [R/R]) peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) have not been well defined, and with the approval of several novel single agents (SA), the comparative efficacy of combination chemotherapy (CC) to single-agent strategies remains unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate overall response rates (ORR) and toxicities of SA to CC. MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, and Cochrane were systematically searched for phase I, phase II, and phase III trials investigating a defined SA or an anthracycline-, ifosfamide-, gemcitabine-, and platinum-based regimens.
