Overview

Phase 2 trial demonstrated an 82% objective response rate in patients with refractory large B-cell lymphoma, indicating high efficacy of CAR T-cell therapy.

Key Points

  • The objective response rate was 82%, with a 54% complete response rate in patients receiving axi-cel therapy.
  • Among 111 enrolled patients, 40% maintained a complete response after a median follow-up of 15.4 months.
  • Patients were treated with a conditioning regimen followed by 2×106 anti-CD19 CAR T cells per kilogram.
  • High levels of CAR T-cells were linked to positive treatment responses, though adverse events included neutropenia and cytokine release syndrome.
