Key clinical point: Compared with the current standard-of-care chemoimmunotherapy, second-line axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) significantly prolongs the overall survival of patients with early relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).
Major finding: At a median follow-up of 47.2 months, patients receiving axi-cel vs standard care had a significantly longer median overall survival (not reached vs 31.1 months; hazard ratio 0.73; P = .03) and an absolute improvement in overall survival (8.6 percentage points at 4 years). No new treatment-related deaths were reported since the primary event-free survival analysis.
Study details: This primary overall survival analysis of the phase 3 ZUMA-7 trial included 359 adults with LBCL (refractory to or relapsed after first-line treatment) who were randomly assigned to receive axi-cel (n = 180) or standard care (n = 179).
