Abstract
Aim: We quantified patient preferences for second-line diffuse large B-cell lymphoma therapies, including attributes of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. Materials & methods: Using a discrete choice experiment, we surveyed 224 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients from the USA and Europe. Patients chose between two treatment options defined by six attributes with predefined levels for overall survival, adverse events (severe cytokine-release syndrome, severe neurological toxicities, severe infection) and time to return to pre-treatment functioning. Results: Increasing the probability of 1-year survival was most important to patients, followed by avoiding risks of cytokine-release syndrome and neurological toxicities. Respondents required a 13-14 percentage point increased 1-year survival probability to accept risks of treatment-associated adverse events. Conclusion: Patients prioritize survival and will accept certain adverse event risks to gain survival improvements.
