Tanya Siddiqi, MD, City of Hope, Duarte, CA, discusses the TRANSCEND-CLL-004 trial (NCT03331198), pivotal in the FDA approval of lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) for relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The trial included heavily pretreated patients; among those previously exposed to both BTK inhibitors and venetoclax, there was a 20% complete remission (CR) rate and 44% overall response rate (ORR). Safety outcomes for cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity were mostly non-high grade, consistent with liso-cel’s profile in other indications. This interview took place at the 29th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) in Madrid, Spain.
