While a substantial body of evidence exists on the prognostic value of PET/CT parameters in peri-CAR T setting, data available on the prognostic value of PET/CT parameters following CAR T-cell therapy failure is lacking. Therefore, we sought to analyze the PET/CT scans of LBCL patients who experienced post-CAR T relapsed/progressive disease and subsequently received salvage therapies. Thirty-three LBCL patients who had PET-CT scans done demonstrating post-CAR T failure and then received salvage therapies [as a first salvage modality: RT alone, nine patients; combined modality therapy (CMT), seven patients; systemic therapy (ST) alone, 17 patients] were analyzed. The median follow-up after CAR T-cell infusion was 11.7 months [interquartile range (IQR): 5.1–24.4 months], and the median follow-up after post-CAR T salvage therapy was 7.3 months (IQR: 2.7–19.1 months). The median timeframe for the PET scan showing post-CAR T failure was 2.4 months (IQR: 0.96–5.0 months). On univariable analysis from salvage therapy start date, high metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) were associated with inferior overall survival (OS) (Hazard ratio –HR = 8.4, <i>p</i> < 0.0001; HR = 3.2, <i>p</i> = 0.01, respectively). High MTV was associated with a non-significant trend of inferior progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 3.5, <i>p</i> = 0.09). High maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) was not associated with inferior OS or inferior PFS. On multivariable analysis from salvage therapy start date, high MTV (HR = 4.6, 95% CI: 1.5–14.3, <i>p</i> = 0.009) was identified to be an independent prognostic factor for inferior OS. High International Prognostic Index (IPI) (≥ 3) at the time of salvage therapy (HR = 2.5, 95% CI: 1.1–5.6, <i>p</i> = 0.02) was significantly associated with inferior PFS.

While the most common schedule of very low-dose RT used in the palliative setting is 4Gy in 2 fractions, which was established in the landmark FoRT trial, this requires patients to be available for two RT sessions, increasing the financial and opportunity costs for the patient. Currently, data regarding the use of a single fraction of very low-dose RT (4Gy) for treating iNHLs in the palliative setting is still lacking.
