Lymphodepletion chemotherapy followed by infusion of T cells that are genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeted to CD19 is a novel therapy for patients with relapsed and/or refractory B cell malignancies.We conducted a series of phase 1/2 clinical trials in which CD19 CAR-T cells are manufactured from distinct subsets of T cells and formulated in a defined composition for infusion to patients with large B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Outcomes of these studies and correlative research will be presented.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify factors impacting outcomes of CD19 CAR-T for large B cell lymphoma
2. Discuss outcomes of a phase 1 trial combining exogenous IL-15 support with CD19 CAR-Ts for large B cell lymphoma
3. Identify insight into the impact of timing of anti-PD-L1 when combined with CD19 CAR-T for large B cell lymphoma
