Novel or significantly improved treatment

Comparative effectiveness of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy versus historical controls in patients with relapse/refractory aggressive B-cell lymphoma: An indirect treatment comparison in the real-world setting.

Single-arm studies demonstrate dramatic improvements in survival in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) aggressive B-cell lymphomas but with significant toxicities and at exceptionally high costs. These results support the benefit of CAR T-cell treatment for patients with R/R aggressive B-cell lymphoma in routine clinical care.
