Sequential CD20 CAR-T Therapy is Superior to Salvage Chemotherapy in B-cell Lymphoma Patients with CD19 CAR-T Treatment Failure

Sequential CD20 CAR-T Therapy is Superior to Salvage Chemotherapy in B-cell Lymphoma Patients with CD19 CAR-T Treatment Failure

In recent years, with the application of CD19 CAR-T in refractory/relapsed B-cell lymphoma, we have encountered patients for whom CD19 CAR-T treatment is ineffective or those who relapse after a brief period of effectiveness. Beyond exploring factors that may affect the efficacy of CD19 CAR-T therapy, many doctors and researchers are actively seeking effective treatments for these patients. In June this year, Dr. Xiaoyan Ke and Dr. Kai Hu's team from Beijing GoBroad Boren Hospital published an article titled “Salvage CD20-SD-CART therapy in aggressive B-cell lymphoma after CD19 CART treatment failure” in the Frontiers in Oncology, providing new insights into treatment options for B-cell lymphoma patients who have failed CD19 CAR-T therapy.
