Mazyar Shadman, MD, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA, discusses the findings of a retrospective analysis aimed at investigating the difference in clinical outcomes in patients with relapsed large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) who received CAR T-cell therapy or an autologous stem cell transplant (autoSCT) while in complete remission (CR). In these patients, autoSCT resulted in improved progression-free survival (PFS) and lower relapse rate. Dr Shadman discusses the implications of these findings, along with the limitations of the analysis, and comments on which patients should receive CAR T-cell therapy and which should undergo autoSCT. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
