Axicabtagene ciloleucel for large B-cell lymphoma: Health technology assessment introduction and clinical review protocol

Lymphomas are blood cancers that develop in the lymphatic system and are divided into Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). NHLs are categorized as B-cell, Tcell, or natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, depending on the cell implicated in the disease. While B-cell NHLs display a wide range of...

520 |a Lymphomas are blood cancers that develop in the lymphatic system and are divided into Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). NHLs are categorized as B-cell, Tcell, or natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, depending on the cell implicated in the disease. While B-cell NHLs display a wide range of clinical behaviours, there are several subtypes that have a roughly similar clinical course and are treated in a similar manner. These subtypes include diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, high-grade B-cell lymphoma, and DLBCL arising from follicular lymphoma. In Canada, NHL accounts for 83% of all cases of lymphomas. In this context, axicabtagene ciloleucel is a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy that has been approved by the FDA for use in "adult patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy, including DLBCL not otherwise specified, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, high-grade B-cell lymphoma, and DLBCL arising from follicular lymphoma." As Health Canada approval for axicabtagene ciloleucel is pending, the final indication remains to be confirmed; however, based on the available evidence and existing approvals for this therapy (i.e., by the FDA and the European Union), potentially eligible indications are these types of relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphomas: DLBCL, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, high-grade B-cell lymphoma, and DLBCL arising from follicular lymphoma
