Tisagenlecleucel in Adult Patients With Aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
brief summary
This is a randomized, open label, multicenter phase III trial comparing the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tisagenlecleucel to Standard Of Care in adult patients with aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma after failure of rituximab and anthracycline containing frontline immunochemotherapy.
detailed description
Approximately 318 subjects were planned to be randomized; 322 subjects were analyzed (Full analysis set): 162 subjects in the tisagenlecleucel arm and 160 subjects in the SOC arm.
The target population consisted of adult participants with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who were relapsed/refractory within 365 days of their last dose of first line immunochemotherapy and eligible for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
The duration of treatment in the tisagenlecleucel treatment strategy is from the start of bridging chemotherapy (if applicable) until the infusion of tisagenlecleucel (expected on average at approximately 6 weeks from randomization). The duration of the treatment in the SOC treatment strategy is from the start of salvage chemotherapy until autologous HSCT. In either treatment arm, if infusion of tisagenlecleucel or autologous HSCT is not possible, the duration of treatment is until the last dose of study treatment prior to discontinuation of the treatment strategy.
