Abstract
Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells represent the first approved third-line therapy associated with long-term remissions in patients with refractory/relapsed (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Eligibility criteria to identify patients who can successfully receive CAR-T are still debated. For this reason, the aim of this study was to identify factors influencing eligibility and define a realistic patient estimate. Of 1100 DLBCL patients, 137 were included. Based on the Juliet trial inclusion criteria, only 64 patients (46.7%) would be eligible. Median overall survival (OS) was 8.04 months in eligible vs 3.23 in non-eligible patients (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified stage III-IV (p = 0.017) and ECOG (Formula presented.) 2 (p < 0.001) as significant independent prognostic factors for OS. Moreover, only 64/1100 (5.8%) DLBCL patients would be truly eligible for CAR-T. Our real-life data confirm that with a (Formula presented.) longer waiting time patients with advanced stage and poor ECOG are less likely to be eligible for CAR-T cell infusion.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
