Abstract

In a trial involving patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma, the CAR T-cell therapy axicabtagene ciloleucel led to significantly longer event-free survival than standard salvage chemotherapy (which was followed by high-dose therapy and autologous stem-cell transplantation in patients with a response). High-grade toxic effects were common, but most patients recovered.
