Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Progression-free survival (PFS) determined by blinded independent review committee (BIRC)
5 years

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

Overall Response Rate (ORR) as Determined by Local Investigator
6 months post-tisagenlecleucel infusion

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 (CRR) Per Independent Review Committee (IRC) Assessment
1 year

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).

Overall Response Rate (ORR) Per Independent Review Committee (IRC) in Main Cohort
60 months

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))

Dose-limiting toxicities
Up to 30 days after infusion

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.

Maximum tolerated dose or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D)
Up to 30 days after infusion

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.

ArmTypeDescription
TisagenlecleucelEXPERIMENTALParticipants 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-CHOPACTIVE_COMPARATORParticipants 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.
CTL019EXPERIMENTALAll patients who received tisagenlecleucel infusion.
Treatment (TBI, lymphodepletion, Tisa-cel)EXPERIMENTALPatients 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.
