Progression free survival (PFS) based on Lugano response criteria, defined as time from randomization to the first of the following events to occur: * progressive disease (by BIRC) * death from any cause
The overall response rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage of subjects with a best overall disease response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), where the best overall disease response is defined as the best disease response recorded from tisagenlecleucel infusion until progressive disease or start of new anticancer therapy, whichever comes first.
Complete response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) recorded from tisagenlecleucel infusion until progressive disease or start of new anticancer therapy, whichever came first. CRR was determined by an independent review committee (IRC) and was based on Lugano 2014 classification response criteria. The radiological response is first obtained from CT and PET studies according to the Lugano 2014 criteria. CT response is based on anatomical measurements of index/non-index/new lesions and spleen length. The possible response outcomes are complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), or progressive disease (PD). PET response based on a 5-point scale (5PS) or Deauville score. The possible outcomes for PET response are complete metabolic response (CMR), partial metabolic response (PMR), no metabolic response (NMR), or progressive metabolic disease (PMD).
ORR, which includes complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) in the Main cohort as determined by IRC assessment. ORR is the percentage of participants with a best overall disease response of CR or PR, where the best overall disease response is defined as the best disease response recorded from CTL019 infusion until progressive disease or start of new anticancer therapy (including ASCT), whichever comes first. Response was assessed according to Evaluation Criteria in diffuse large B cell lymphoma studies (based on Cheson Response criteria and the Lugano Classification (2014))
Adverse events will be graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 5.0. Cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell associated neurotoxicity syndrome are graded using American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) Consensus grading.
Will define the dose as the RP2D for which the isotonic estimate of the toxicity rate is closest to the targeted toxicity rate (i.e., 25%). If there is a tie, the higher dose level when the isotonic estimate is lower than the targeted toxicity rate; and will choose the lower dose level when the isotonic estimate is greater than the targeted toxicity rate.

|---|---|---|
| Tisagenlecleucel | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants randomized to the tisagenlecleucel treatment strategy will receive a single infusion of 0.6 to 6 x 10\^8 CAR-positive viable T-cells |
| R2 or R-CHOP | ACTIVE_COMPARATOR | Participants randomized to Standard of Care treatment will receive either R2 or R-CHOP based on investigator choice of therapies, and this has to be determined prior to randomization. |

| Treatment (TBI, lymphodepletion, Tisa-cel) | EXPERIMENTAL | Patients undergo leukapheresis and receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide IV and fludarabine IV on days -5 to -3 per standard of care. Patients also undergo low dose TBI on day -2 and receive standard of care Tisa-cel IV over 5-30 minutes on day 0. Additionally, patients undergo blood sample collection, PET/CT or CT throughout the study. |

Tisagenlecleucel is an investigational CD19-directed therapy being studied for Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Recurrent Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, Follicular Lymphoma, Primary CNS Lymphoma, and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. It is a monoclonal antibody being developed by Novartis AG for oncology indications.
Tisagenlecleucel targets CD19, a protein expressed on B-cells. As a binding agent, it is designed to recognize and bind to CD19-positive cells. This mechanism is being evaluated in clinical trials for various B-cell malignancies including DLBCL and follicular lymphoma.
Tisagenlecleucel is being developed by Novartis AG, a multinational pharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker NVS. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the therapy's safety and efficacy in several lymphoma indications.
Tisagenlecleucel is in clinical development, with trials ranging from Phase 1 to Phase 3. It is not approved and remains investigational. The most advanced trial is a Phase 3 study in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma, while earlier-phase trials have been completed in DLBCL and other lymphomas.
Tisagenlecleucel has been studied in several trials. NCT02445248 was a Phase 2 study in adult DLBCL patients with 115 participants. NCT03610724 was a Phase 2 trial in pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphoma. NCT03630159 was a Phase 1 combination study with pembrolizumab in DLBCL. NCT05888493 is an active Phase 3 trial in follicular lymphoma.
Yes, Tisagenlecleucel is also known as CTL019. The clinical trial NCT02445248, titled 'Study of Efficacy and Safety of CTL019 in Adult DLBCL Patients,' evaluated the therapy under this alternative name. Both names refer to the same investigational CD19-directed therapy developed by Novartis.
