PG - 203-210 LID - S2152-2650(22)01779-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.clml.2022.12.015 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells are an important new third-line treatment option for large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). The objective response rates in pivotal early phase clinical trials with CAR T-cells were very promising. The objective of this study was to describe the efficacy results obtained with CAR T-cells infusions in our institution and to compare the toxicities of our cohort with those of pivotal trials and studies conducted in a real-life setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Efficacy and safety data were retrospectively collected from 25 patients with LBCL treated with CAR T-cells therapy at CHU de Quebec-Universite Laval. A literature search was then performed to identify other efficacy or safety data from a real-life setting. RESULTS: At 3 months post infusion, the objective response rate (ORR) in our population with tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene-ciloleucel were 20% and 47%, respectively. Bulky disease was the only negative predictor of poor response at 3 months (0% vs. 53%, P = .03). Bulky disease was associated with a median PFS of 2 months compared to 5 months for non-bulky disease (P = .0009). Grade >/= 3 hematological toxicities were greater in patients treated with axi-cel (60% vs. 20%, P = .048), without bone marrow involvement (55% vs. 0%, P =.046), without stage IV disease (72% vs. 21%, P =.02), with refractory disease (67% vs. 10%, P =.01) or having been affected by cytokine release syndrome (58% vs. 0%, P =.02). CONCLUSION: The poor response rate at 3 months after infusion in our cohort was influenced mainly by bulky disease. Further studies are needed to better characterize the loss of efficacy of CAR T-cells because the majority of patients will relapse over time. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.
