Abstract

Aim: Autologous anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy is an established standard-of-care (SOC) for relapsed/refractory (R/R) LBCL, but successful delivery requires disease control through the manufacturing period. The effects of bridging radiotherapy (RT) on outcome are unclear and impacted by disease factors such as bulk and distribution. We sought to compare outcomes of patients receiving RT-alone versus systemic-based bridging therapies (BT) delivered after apheresis and prior to axi-cel infusion. Method: Data were collected retrospectively for all patients with R/R LBCL treated with SOC axi-cel between 2020-2024 with ≥3 months of follow-up pos..
