Michael Bishop, MD, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, describes advances in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for hematologic malignancies. Data from the JULIET (NCT02445248), TRANSFORM (NCT03575351), BELINDA (NCT03570892), ZUMA-1 (NCT02348216), and ZUMA-7 (NCT03391466) trials have demonstrated CAR T-cell therapy as a promising frontline therapy in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Dr Bishop additionally highlights updates in multiple myeloma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), as well as strategies to manage CAR T-cell toxicity. This interview took place at the 63rd ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress in Atlanta, GA.

Frederick Locke, MD, Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, FL, presents results from the Phase III ZUMA-7 trial (NCT03391466) which assessed axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), an autologous anti‑CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, in patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). 359 patients either received axi-cel or the standard of care, with the primary endpoint being event-free survival (EFS). After a 24 month follow-up, patients in the axi-cel arm demonstrated a superior EFS and overall response rate (ORR). Overall survival (OS) was additionally superior in the axi-cel arm, but was not statistically significant. The results suggest axi-cel can be a second-line treatment for r/r LBCL. This interview took place at the 63rd ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress in Atlanta, GA.

DLBCL updates at ASH 2021 [Video]
Chan Yoon Cheah, MBBS, Linear Clinical Research and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Perth, Australia, provides key updates in the field of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that will be discussed at ASL 2021. He comments on the results from the Phase III ZUMA-7 trial (NCT03391466) which investigated axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), an autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, in patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) DLBCL. Dr Cheah additionally highlights potential data from the Phase III POLARIX trial (NCT03274492), which compared polatuzumab vedotin, an antibody-drug conjugate, with R-CHP against R-CHOP. This interview took place at the 63rd ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress in Atlanta, GA.
