  • Early data with and ongoing assessment of other bispecific antibody-containing combination strategies for DLBCL

MODULE 3: CAR T-Cell Therapy for Other Lymphoma Subtypes

  • Extended follow-up with axi-cel, tis-cel and liso-cel for multiregimen-relapsed follicular lymphoma (FL); appropriate selection of candidates with FL for CAR T-cell therapy
  • Outcomes from the high-risk second-line subgroup of the Phase II TRANSCEND FL study of liso-cel for R/R FL; implications, if any, for therapeutic sequencing
  • Ongoing and planned trials (eg, ZUMA-22, LEDA, TRANSFORM FL) of CAR T-cell therapy for R/R FL

  • Available data with, ongoing investigation of and potential clinical role of bispecific antibodies for other NHL subtypes (eg, MCL, MZL)

MODULE 5: Tolerability Considerations with CAR T-Cell Therapy and Bispecific Antibodies

  • Comparative frequency and severity of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity/immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) with available anti-CD19 CAR T-cell constructs for various NHL subtypes
  • Guideline-endorsed approaches for the mitigation, monitoring and management of CRS and neurotoxicity/ICANS; role of corticosteroids, tocilizumab and other supportive care interventions
  • Rationale for and potential implications of the recent elimination of the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy for patients receiving CAR T-cell therapy
  • Long-term tolerability and toxicity considerations (eg, delayed neurotoxicity, cytopenias, hypogammaglobulinemia, infection, secondary malignancy) with CAR T-cell therapy
  • Incidence, severity and time course of CRS and neurotoxicity/ICANS with bispecific antibody therapy for NHL
  • Other tolerability concerns with bispecific antibodies for NHL; recommended mitigation and management protocols

Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of lymphoma.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Develop an understanding of the biological rationale for the development of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy as a targeted strategy to eliminate cancer cells in patients with various forms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
  • Appraise the scientific justification for the evaluation of CD20 x CD3 bispecific antibodies for patients with various forms of NHL, and assess the similarities and differences among currently available agents in this class.
  • Evaluate the available clinical research database with CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy and CD20 x CD3 bispecific antibodies in the management of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and optimally incorporate these approaches into current treatment algorithms.
  • Assess available research findings with CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy and CD20 x CD3 bispecific antibodies for other B-cell lymphomas, including follicular lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma, and identify patients for whom these novel approaches should be considered or recommended.
  • Recognize adverse events associated with available and investigational CAR T-cell therapies and bispecific antibodies, and implement strategies to educate patients and manage complications.
  • Recall ongoing research attempting to further define the optimal role of CAR T-cell therapy and bispecific antibody-based strategies for NHL, and counsel patients about potential clinical trial participation.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of lymphoma.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate published research establishing the efficacy and safety of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors as a component of first-line therapy for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and assess the current and potential clinical role of various BTK inhibitor-based strategies for patients newly diagnosed with the disease.
  • Identify patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) for whom the use of CD79b-targeted therapy as a component of first-line treatment would be appropriate.
  • Develop an understanding of available clinical research findings with CD19-targeted monoclonal antibodies in combination with immunomodulatory agents for DLBCL and follicular lymphoma (FL), and employ this information as part of patient education discussions.
  • Appraise the available research findings with and current clinical role of CD19-targeted antibody-drug conjugates in treatment for patients with R/R DLBCL.
  • Assess available clinical trial findings informing the use of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for R/R DLBCL, FL and MCL, and counsel appropriately selected patients regarding the potential benefits of this therapeutic strategy.
  • Evaluate the available trial findings with bispecific antibodies targeting CD20 x CD3 in patients with FL and DLBCL, and determine the role of these agents in clinical management.
  • Recall new data with agents and strategies currently under investigation for various non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes, and discuss ongoing trial opportunities with eligible patients.
