Chinese Research: Hopes of CAR-T in Second-Line Treatment of LBCL（Lymphoma）
Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma （LBCL）is a heterogeneous malignant tumor of the blood system, with approximately 40% of LBCL patients experiencing relapse or developing resistance after first-line treatment, progressing to relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL). In recent years, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy targeting CD19 (CAR-T) has made significant breakthroughs in treating relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
At the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting held from December 9th to 12th this year in the Eastern United States, important real-world evidence of CAR-T cell therapy as a second-line standard treatment for R/R LBCL was presented in the form of a poster (ASH Abstract #4876), providing crucial evidence-based medicine for the clinical application of CAR-T.
CAR-T Cell Therapy as Second-Line Treatment for R/R LBCL: Real-World
Evidence Among 110 patients receiving CAR-T infusion, the overall response rate (ORR) was 82.7%, and the complete response (CR) rate was 61.8%. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were not reached. Estimated 6-month PFS and OS rates were 64.1% (95% CI, 52.8%-73.4%) and 84.4% (95% CI, 73.8%-90.9%), respectively.
The advent of CAR-T cell therapy has brought hope of cure for R/R LBCL patients. Based on its critical research and outstanding real-world application data, CAR-T cell therapy has gained recommendations from authoritative guidelines at home and abroad, and has become a crucial choice for second-line treatment in R/R LBCL patients.
