Axi-cel, a CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, was approved by the European Commission for the treatment of patients with R/R FL based on results from the phase II ZUMA-5 trial (NCT03105336). ZUMA-5 is a multicenter trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of axi-cel in patients with R/R iNHL, including FL and MZL, who have failed ≥2 prior lines of therapy. 

5-year follow-up results from the trial (N = 159; FL: n = 127 for efficacy, n = 124 for safety; MZL: n = 31 for efficacy, n = 28 for safety) were presented at the 66th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition by Neelapu.1 


Key learnings
The ORR was 90%; 94% in patients with FL and 77% in patients with MZL. The CR rate was 75% overall; 79% in patients with FL and 65% in patients with MZL.
The median PFS was 62.2 months overall, and 57.3% in patients with FL. The 60-month PFS rates were 50.4% overall and 49.8% in patients with FL, regardless of high-risk factors including POD24.
The median OS was not reached, with a 60-month OS rate of 69.0% overall. In patients with FL, the 60-month lymphoma-specific OS rate was 83.4%. The median DoR was 60.4 months, with a 60-month DoR of 53.4%.
Safety outcomes were consistent with previous analyses, with no new safety signals reported.
This 5-year follow-up of the ZUMA-5 trial demonstrates durable responses of axi-cel in patients with R/R iNHL, with curative potential in patients with R/R FL and promising efficacy in high-risk R/R FL.
