ASH 2021: the future of cell therapies in lymphoma

Cell therapies including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy represent novel treatments for patients with lymphoma, especially for those who have progressed on existing chemotherapy or autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (ASCT). CAR T-cell therapy involves modified immune cells from the patient to attack the cancer and there are currently five approved by the FDA: idecabtagene vicleucel, lisocabtagene maraleucel, tisagenlecleucel, brexucabtagene autoleucel, and axicabtagene ciloleucel.
