TL;DR

Outcomes included cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), relapse incidence (RI), and non-relapse mortality (NRM).

Abstract

Chimeric antigen receptor(CAR) T-cell therapy is effective in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma(LBCL), but evidence in elderly patients(≥70y) is limited. We compared outcomes of tisagenlecleucel(tisa-cel) and axicabtagene ciloleucel(axi-cel) and assessed prognostic factors. We analyzed 1,191 patients(aged ≥70y) reported to the EBMT(tisa-cel n=402; axi-cel n=789). Median follow-up was 22.7 months. Outcomes included cytokine release syndrome(CRS), immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome(ICANS), overall survival(OS), progression-free survival(PFS), relapse incidence(RI), and non-relapse mortality(NRM). Multivariable models adjusted for age, sex, ECOG, disease status, prior transplantation, and year of infusion. Median age at infusion was 74y; 65.6% were aged 70-75y. Progressive disease at infusion was 59% vs 53% for tisa-cel and axi-cel(p=0.04). Tisa-cel patients were older(74.0 vs 73.7y, p=0.019). At day-30, CRS(any grade) occurred in 62% vs 77%(p.

Dynamic risk stratification using early CAR-T expansion in R/R LBCL treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel.

The clinical utility of routine monitoring of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell expansion post-infusion remains controversial. We conducted a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected cohort of 176 patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-ce...

InflaMix Predicts Severe CRS, ICU Admission, and Progression-Free Survival After CAR-T Therapy in LBCL.

OBJECTIVES Baseline systemic inflammation has emerged as a determinant of outcome after CD19-directed CAR-T therapy. We evaluated the prognostic performance of the recently developed INFLAmmation MIXture Model (InflaMix) in an independent bicentric cohort of patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) receiving commerci...

Pre-existing immunity and hrHPV status determine immunotherapy response in advanced penile cancer: biomarkers and overall survival in the PERICLES trial.

Penile squamous cell carcinoma (PeSCC) is a rare malignancy with limited treatment options in advanced stages. The phase II PERICLES trial (NCT03686332) investigated atezolizumab with or without radiotherapy in advanced penile cancer. Here, we report mature overall survival (OS) and updated progression-free survival (P...

Phase 1, open-label, multicenter study of sovleplenib (HMPL-523) in patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma.

Relapsed or refractory lymphoma carries poor prognosis, with limited options after standard therapies. Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) mediates B-cell receptor and aberrant T-cell receptor signaling, promoting survival and proliferation. HMPL-523 (sovleplenib) is a novel, selective oral SYK inhibitor with preclinical acti...
