The approval of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies for the second-line treatment of high-risk large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) has greatly affected salvage algorithms for this condition, and such therapies could have the potential to improve the course of relapsed or refractory LBCL. In this Review, we provide guidance for a rational management approach to the use of commercial CD19-directed CAR T cells in the second-line treatment of LBCL, addressing crucial questions regarding eligible histologies; age, comorbidity, and tumour biology restrictions; the handling of very aggressive tumour behaviour; and holding and bridging therapies. The guidance was developed in a structured manner and, for each question, consists of a description of the clinical issue, a summary of the evidence, the rationale for a practical management approach, and recommendations. These recommendations could help to decide on the optimal management of patients with relapsed or refractory LBCL who are considered for second-line CAR T-cell treatment.

The remarkable efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy in hematological malignancies has provided a solid basis for the therapeutic concept, wherein specific pathogenic cell populations can be eradicated by means of targeted recognition. During the past few years, CAR-based cell therapies have been extensively investigated in preclinical and clinical research across various non-tumor diseases, with particular emphasis in the treatment of autoimmune diseases (ADs), yielding significant advancements. The recent deployment of CD19-directed CAR T cells has induced long-lasting, drug-free remission in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other systemic AD, alongside a more profound immune reconstruction of B cell repertoire compared with conventional immunosuppressive agents and B cell-targeting biologics.

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.

Introduction: Emerging evidence suggests that, while CD19 is primarily expressed on immature B-cell precursors, it is also present on drug-resistant plasma cells that have been postulated to function as multiple myeloma (MM) stem cells, driving the progression of relapsing disease. Targeting CD19 with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells offers a promising strategy for addressing this residual disease burden, potentially leading to more durable treatments and enhanced relapse prevention.
Areas Covered: This review examines the molecular basis of CD19-targeted CAR-T therapy in MM, highlighting its potential, key challenges, and efficacy and safety in early clinical trials for relapsed/refractory and newly diagnosed MM.

Background: Relapsed and refractory Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can be successfully treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), a CD19-directed autologous chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy. Diagnostic image-based features could help identify the patients who would clinically respond to this advanced immunotherapy.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to establish a radiomic image feature-based signature derived from positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), including metabolic tumor burden, which can predict a durable response to CAR-T therapy in refractory/relapsed DLBCL.
