Phase 1 Trial Supports Safety and Efficacy of Novel CAR-T Therapy for Large B-cell Lymphomas
Lisocabtagene maraleucel, an investigational CAR T-cell product, was linked to low incidence of cytokine release syndrome and neurological events in a phase 1 seamless design pivotal trial and often led to rapid and durable remission among patients with high-risk relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.
