Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-free Survival (PFS)
12 months after liso-cel infusion

Defined as the time from the date of liso-cel infusion to the date of first documented disease relapse or progression as assessed by the investigator, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first

Feasibility of the intervention in the proposed study population
Up to 90 days

The percentage of subjects who receive a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell infusion after receiving bridging radiation therapy. A one-sided Binomial test will be conducted to assess whether acceptable percentage (\>70% vs \<70%) of patients receive CAR T-cell perfusion after undergoing the radiation therapy.

Secondary Endpoints

PFS
12 months after date of enrollment
Modified Progression-free Survival (mPFS)
12 months after date of enrollment
Complete Response Rate (CRR)
Up to end of study (approximately 2 years)

Frequently asked questions about Liso-cel

What is Liso-cel used for?

Liso-cel, also known as lisocabtagene maraleucel, is an investigational CD19-directed therapy being studied for the treatment of B-cell lymphomas, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and other relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphomas. It is also being evaluated as a first-line therapy in adults with transplant-ineligible primary central nervous system lymphoma.

What does Liso-cel target?

Liso-cel targets CD19, a protein expressed on the surface of B cells. It is a binding agent designed to recognize and engage CD19-positive cells, which are implicated in certain B-cell malignancies such as DLBCL and other non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Who makes Liso-cel?

Liso-cel is being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, which trades under the ticker symbol BMY. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the therapy's safety and efficacy in patients with B-cell lymphomas.

What phase is Liso-cel in?

Liso-cel is in clinical development. It is being studied in a Phase 1 trial for relapsed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and a Phase 2 trial for transplant-ineligible primary central nervous system lymphoma. It is not yet approved by regulatory authorities and remains investigational.

What clinical trials is Liso-cel in?

Liso-cel is being evaluated in two active clinical trials. NCT05621096 is a Phase 1 study of low-dose radiation as bridging therapy in relapsed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, enrolling 33 participants in the United States. NCT07015242 is a Phase 2 study of Liso-cel as first-line therapy in adults with transplant-ineligible primary central nervous system lymphoma, enrolling 65 participants in the United States, France, and Germany.

Is Liso-cel the same as lisocabtagene maraleucel?

Yes, Liso-cel is the same as lisocabtagene maraleucel. Liso-cel is a shortened name for the investigational therapy, which is being studied for the treatment of B-cell lymphomas, including DLBCL and primary central nervous system lymphoma.
