Latest updates on CAR-T therapy for lymphoma

At present, four types of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy are FDA approved for specific types of lymphoma: for relapsed or refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma, brexucabtagene autoleucel, for R/R follicular lymphoma, axicabtagene ciloleucel, and for some aggressive forms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, axicabtagene ciloleucel, tisagenlecleucel and lisocabtagene maraleucel. Despite these approvals, progression of disease and toxicity remain unresolved concerns associated with CAR-T therapy which are currently being investigated.
