Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in B-cell lymphomas: current status and future directions.

Abstract

Aims: To review recent data and relevant of the role of anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

Methods: Review and compilation of the most recent and relevant data published in full text and abstract forms of anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy for B-cell NHL.

Results: Different anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy products have been tested and shown significant clinical activity across B-cell NHL patients. The objective responses in relapsed DLBCL, FL and MCL were 50-83%, 83-93% and 93%, respectively.

Conclusions: Anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy is a viable option for poor risk refractory B-cell NHLs.
