PG - 757-763 LID - S2152-2650(23)00187-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.clml.2023.06.005 [doi] AB - CD19 directed CAR-T therapy for Large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) has shown great therapeutic response in patients with relapsed/refractory disease with response rates of 60-80%. However, in patients with a partial response (PR) on initial day 28 post CAR-T therapy imaging, clinical uncertainty remains as half of these patients will ultimately have relapsed disease.   PATIENTS: In 24 patients receiving CD19 directed CAR-T therapy for relapsed/refractory LBCL achieving a PR on day 28, we utilize imaging biomarkers by 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging at pre CAR-T therapy baseline and day 28 to determine factors that may predict best overall response (B-OR), progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).   METHODS: Out of 75 patients receiving CAR-T therapy at a single institution, we retrospectively identified and reviewed 25 (33%) as achieving a PR on day 28. PR was defined using the 2014 Lugano classification system. All patients received standard of care CD19 directed CAR-T therapy with axicabtagene ciloleucel. Two independent nuclear medicine physicians measured baseline (pre-CAR-T therapy) and day 28 PET/CT SUVmax, SUVmean and TMV (cm3) of each lesion (node, organ or marrow uptake, if any) using ROVER software. All statistical tests were two-sided and conducted at the 0.05 level of significance. R version 1.3.1099 (R-studio) was used for statistical modeling.   CONCLUSION: We demonstrate that a higher day 28 SUVmax was significantly higher in those with a B-OR of PR and in our modeling, a lower day 28 SUVmax may predict favorable PFS and OS. Additionally, lower TMV, both at baseline and day 28, may also be predictive of longer PFS and OS, while lower TLG at baseline, but not day 28 is significantly associated with a B-OR of CR. While further study is warranted, these imaging biomarkers may allow for early identification of those with a day 28 PR at highest risk for relapse leading to early intervention to improve long term outcomes.
