Real-World Outcomes for Patients with Relapsed or Refractory (R/R) Aggressive B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (aBNHL) Treated with Commercial Tisagenlecleucel: Subgroup Analyses from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) Registry

Background: Tisagenlecleucel is an autologous CD19-directed T-cell immunotherapy that provides high rates of durable response, with a manageable safety profile, in adult patients with R/R diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). An overall response (OR) rate of 53% and progression-free survival (PFS) rate of ~35% at 12 months were observed in the pivotal Phase II trial, JULIET (NCT02445248) [Jaeger et al. Blood 2020; Schuster et al. NEJM 2019]. Early data from the CIBMTR registry indicate similar efficacy and a more favorable safety profile in the commercial setting [Pasquini et al. Blood Adv 2020]. Outcomes are reported here for a larger group of patients with aBNHL who received commercial tisagenlecleucel with longer follow-up, including those considered ineligible for JULIET.
