The rules of T-cell engagement: current state of CAR T cells and bispecific antibodies in B-cell lymphomas

Blood Adv. 2024 Sep 10;8(17):4700-4710. doi: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2021004535.

Abstract

T-cell engaging-therapies have transformed the treatment landscape of relapsed and refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas by offering highly effective treatments for patients with historically limited therapeutic options. This review focuses on the advances in chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells and bispecific antibodies, first providing an overview of each product type, followed by exploring the primary data for currently available products in large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma. This review also highlights key logistical and sequencing considerations across diseases and product types that can affect clinical decision-making.
