MARKET OUTLOOK
Relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/RDLBCL) represents an area of high unmet need in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) due to the poor outcomes with current salvage treatment. Rituximab-based chemoimmunotherapy regimens (e.g., R-DHAP, R-ICE, R-ESHAP) are the conventional standard of care for R/RDLBCL followed by conditioning and autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in eligible patients. The anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapies Yescarta (Gilead/Kite) and Kymriah (Novartis) have expanded treatment options for patients with DLBCL, although their current use is restricted to third and subsequent lines of therapy. Despite the evolving market landscape, significant unmet need remains in the treatment of R/RDLBCL due to the limited availability of effective treatment options.
