In this episode of the Oncology Brothers podcast, we tackled two real-world challenging cases in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) alongside two lymphoma experts — Dr. Matthew Lunning from the University of Nebraska and Dr. Gilles Salles from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The central question: when faced with relapsed or transformed aggressive B-cell lymphoma, how do you choose between CAR-T cell therapy and bispecific antibodies, and how do you get patients through this safely?

 

Key topics discussed included:

  • The role of CAR-T cell therapy in early relapsed DLBCL based on ZUMA-7 and TRANSFORM trial data, and practical strategies for bridging and holding therapy pre- and post-apheresis to safely deliver treatment.
  • A comparison of axicabtagene ciloleucel versus lisocabtagene maraleucel in terms of efficacy, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) rates, and outpatient feasibility.
  • Management of transformed follicular lymphoma to double-hit DLBCL in the third-line setting, including the role of glofitamab, mosunetuzumab, polatuzumab, and epcoritamab as bridges to CAR-T cell therapy.
  • The importance of early partnership between community oncologists and tertiary care centers to ensure patients access CAR-T and bispecific therapies in a timely manner.
