The phase I/II TRANSCEND-CLL-004 trial (NCT03331198) assessed the safety and efficacy of liso-cel in adult patients with R/R CLL/SLL.1 The primary results from this trial were previously reported by the Lymphoma Hub. Briefly, the ORR and CR/CRi rates at DL2 were 47% and 18%, respectively. Based on results from this trial, liso-cel was approved by the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with R/R CLL/SLL who received ≥2 prior lines of therapy, including a BTKi and a BCL-2 inhibitor. A post hoc analysis of this trial assessed the correlations between patient characteristics and efficacy response and safety in patients treated at DL2 (n = 87). Results from this analysis were presented at the SOHO 2024 Annual Meeting by Wierda.1

Key learnings: |
ORR and CRR were similar in patients with or without high-risk disease features at baseline, including unmutated IGHV (ORR, 41.5% vs 63.2%; CRR , 22.0% vs 21.1%), del(17p) (ORR, 47.1% vs 45.1%; CRR, 26.5% vs 13.7%), TP53 mutation (ORR, 41.7% vs 50.0%; CRR, 22.2% vs 16.0%), del(17p) and TP53 mutation (ORR, 44.0% vs 46.7%; CRR, 28.0% vs 15.0%), and complex karyotype (ORR, 44.2% vs 52.9%; CRR, 19.2% vs 17.6%). |
Patients with fewer prior lines of treatment and lower baseline tumor burden showed improved response rates; the ORRs for patients with ≤3 prior lines of therapy vs >3 prior lines of therapy were 54.5% vs 44.6%, and for patients without bulky (≥5 cm) disease vs with bulky disease were 63.2% vs 31.7%. |
Inflammatory markers, bulky disease, and lower estimated CrCl rates may be associated with a higher risk of neurological events. |
These findings highlight the benefit of liso-cel in patients with R/R CLL/SLL, regardless of high-risk disease features, and suggest that patients treated in earlier lines of therapy with a lower tumor burden may have improved outcomes. |
