CAR T-cell therapy is the best option for patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma, even though it comes with serious side effects.

For patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma , chimeric antigen responder T-cell therapy offers the best chance of survival, despite its high rate of serious side effects and the need to travel to infusion centers. Alternatively, updated chemo+immunotherapy regimens and bispecific antibodies provide less rigorous but effective treatment options for low-risk patients who cannot tolerate or access CAR T .

The most significant drawback of treatment with axicabtagene ciloleucel is cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity, which occurred at grade 3 and higher in 6% and 15% of ZUMA-5 participants, respectively.At a median follow up of 29 months, CR among patients in the ELARA study was 68.1%, and the overall response rate was 86.2%. Fewer than half of patients had any CRS, and none had grade three or higher.

"About 20% of patients will experience an early recurrence or progression of diseases within 24 months which is associated with worse outcomes. About half of those patients experienced transformation, so they have diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and they're getting CAR T-cells.

In addition to the possibly durable nature of bispecific antibodies, they induce cytokine release syndrome at a much lower rate than CAR T, and most side effects are manageable in an outpatient setting,"usually just with Tylenol occasionally with a dose of steroids," said Dr Martin. Dr Jacobson observed that"Dr Martin is looking at the 80% of people who do really well with follicular lymphoma. Those are the people who don't require a third line of therapy. They are the people who don't have PoD-24. I'm looking at the 20% of people who either do require a third line of therapy or who do have PoD-24, and we're not treating nearly enough of those patients with follicular lymphoma.
