Abstract

Objective: Here, we report interim results from ZUMA-5, a Phase 2 study of axi-cel, an autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, in patients with relapsed/refractory iNHL. Design: Adults with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) after ≥2 lines of therapy (including an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody with an alkylating agent) were eligible. Patients were leukapheresed and received conditioning chemotherapy followed by axi-cel at 2 × 106 CAR T cells/kg. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by central review (Cheson, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2014). Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), safety, and blood levels of CAR T cells. Results: As of 8/20/19, 94 patients (80 FL; 14 MZL) received axi-cel (median follow-up, 11.5 months). Median age was 63 years, 51% of patients had ≥3 FLIPI, 59% had high tumor bulk, 66% progressed Conclusions: Axi-cel showed significant clinical benefit, with high response rates, and a manageable safety profile in patients with relapsed/refractory iNHL.
