Abstract
Little is known about the survival benefit of relmacabtagene autoleucel (relma-cel) in the current therapeutic landscape of relapsed/refractory (r/r) follicular lymphoma (FL). The current study compared the survival outcomes of Chinese FL patients administered relma-cel in RELIANCE (NCT04089215) and usual care in a retrospective, observational, large-scale real-world study (RWS). An indirect treatment comparison was carried out for 27 patients from RELIANCE and 53 patients from the RWS in China. Additionally, a direct comparison was made with the SCHOLAR-5 study, which assessed available treatment options abroad. After propensity score matching, disease status (FLIPI2 score, histological grade, relapse status, POD24) in the relma-cel group appeared to indicate more severe disease versus the usual care group. Nevertheless, median progression-free survival (PFS) was not reached (95% CI 8.97-NR) for relma-cel versus 19.98 months (95% CI 16.03–28.98) for usual care, indicating a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.40 (95% CI 0.13–1.23). Besides, a comparative analysis of RELIANCE and SCHOLAR-5, applying available treatment options abroad, revealed an HR for PFS of 0.20 (95% CI 0.07–0.58). At 24 months, 100% of patients survived after relma-cel infusion, versus 38.2% after usual care in China and 62.7% after usual care treatment in SCHOLAR-5, respectively. Relma-cel exhibits superior survival benefits versus current conventional therapies in r/r FL patients after ≥ 2 treatment lines.
期刊介绍:
Hematological Oncology considers for publication articles dealing with experimental and clinical aspects of neoplastic diseases of the hemopoietic and lymphoid systems and relevant related matters. Translational studies applying basic science to clinical issues are particularly welcomed. Manuscripts dealing with the following areas are encouraged:
-Clinical practice and management of hematological neoplasia, including: acute and chronic leukemias, malignant lymphomas, myeloproliferative disorders
-Diagnostic investigations, including imaging and laboratory assays
-Epidemiology, pathology and pathobiology of hematological neoplasia of hematological diseases
-Therapeutic issues including Phase 1, 2 or 3 trials as well as allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplantation studies
-Aspects of the cell biology, molecular biology, molecular genetics and cytogenetics of normal or diseased hematopoeisis and lymphopoiesis, including stem cells and cytokines and other regulatory systems.
Concise, topical review material is welcomed, especially if it makes new concepts and ideas accessible to a wider community. Proposals for review material may be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief. Collections of case material and case reports will be considered only if they have broader scientific or clinical relevance.
