Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical study is to assess whether axicabtagene ciloleucel therapy improves the clinical outcome compared with standard of care second-line therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) Biological: Axicabtagene Ciloleucel Drug: Platinum-containing salvage chemotherapy (eg, R-ICE) followed by high dose therapy (eg, BEAM) and autologous stem cell transplant in responders. Drug: Cyclophosphamide Drug: Fludarabine Phase 3

Detailed Description:

This is a phase 3 randomized, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy of axicabtagene ciloleucel versus standard of care therapy in participants with relapsed/refractory DLBCL. Adult participants with relapsed/refractory DLBCL after first-line rituximab and anthracycline-based chemotherapy will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive axicabtagene ciloleucel or standard of care second-line therapy.

Standard of care will consist of a protocol-defined, platinum-based salvage combination chemotherapy regimen followed by high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplant in those who respond to salvage chemotherapy. After completing the treatment period, all participants will be followed in the post-treatment follow-up period for up to 5 years. Thereafter, participants who received at least one dose of axicabtagene ciloleucel as protocol therapy will transition to a separate long term follow up (LTFU) study and complete the remainder of the 15-year follow-up assessments within KT-US-982-5968 (NCT05041309).

  2. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From randomization date up to a median follow-up: 47.2 months ]
    Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates was used for analysis.

  3. Duration of Response (DOR) Per Blinded Central Assessments [ Time Frame: From the date of first confirmed objective response (CR or PR) to disease progression or death regardless of cause (Up to 37.8 months) ]
    DOR is defined only for participants who experience an objective response after axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion and is the time from the first objective response per Lugano classification to disease progression or death from any cause. Objective response is defined in outcome measure 2 and disease progression is defined in outcome measure 1. KM estimates were used for analysis.

  4. Modified Event Free Survival (mEFS) Per Blinded Central Assessment [ Time Frame: From randomization date up to a median follow-up: 24.9 months ]
    Modified event free survival is defined the same way as EFS, except that a best response of SD up to and including Day 150 assessment post randomization was not considered an event. KM estimates were used for analysis.

  5. Event Free Survival Per Investigator Disease Assessments [ Time Frame: From randomization date up to a median follow-up: 47.2 months ]
    EFS was defined as the time from randomization to the earliest date of disease progression per the IWG Lugano Classification, best response of stable disease (SD) up to and including Day 150, commencement of new lymphoma therapy, or death from any cause. Disease progression is defined in outcome measure 1.

  6. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Per Investigator Disease Assessments [ Time Frame: From randomization date up to a median follow-up: 47.2 months ]
    PFS is defined as the time from the randomization date to the date of disease progression per Lugano classification or death from any cause. Disease progression is defined in outcome measure 1. KM estimates was used for analysis.

  7. Modified Event Free Survival (mEFS) Per Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: From randomization date up to a median follow-up: 47.2 months ]
    Modified event free survival is defined the same way as EFS, except that a best response of SD up to and including Day 150 assessment post randomization was not considered an event. KM estimates were used for analysis.

  8. Change From Baseline in Global Health Status Scores [ Time Frame: Baseline, Days 50, 100, and 150; Months 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 ]
    Global health status was measured using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality Life Questionnaire (QLQ) C-30. This health related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaire was comprised of 15 questions on functional scales, 13 questions on symptom scales and 2 on global health status scale. Global Health Status used a 7 point Likert-type scale of 1 (Very poor) to 7 (Excellent). All scores were transformed to 0-100. Higher scores for Global Health Status indicated better HRQoL.

  9. Change From Baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Physical Functioning Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Days 50, 100, 150, Months 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 ]

    The EORTC QLQ-C30 is composed of global health status/QoL scale; five functional domains (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social); three symptom domains (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain); and six single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties).

    The Physical Functioning domain includes 5 questions in which participants were asked to rate their overall health and overall quality of life as it relates to physical functioning during the past week on a scale from 1 (very poor) to 7 (excellent). The 5 scores were transformed to a scale from 0 to 100, where a high score indicated better QoL. A positive change from baseline indicates better QoL.


  10. Changes From Baseline in the European Quality of Life Five Dimensions Five Levels Scale (EQ-5D-5L) Index Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Days 50, 100, 150; Months 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 ]
    The Euro-QOL, Five Dimensions, Five Levels (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire is a generic measure of health status that provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value. The EQ-5D-5L comprises 2 components: a questionnaire covering 5 dimensions and a tariff of values based upon direct valuations of health states using a visual analog scale (VAS). The total score for EQ-5D-5L index- is presented on a range from 0 to 1 where higher scores indicate better outcome. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.

  11. Change From Baseline in EQ-5D-5L VAS Scale Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Days 50, 100, 150; Months 9, 12, 18, 21 and 24 ]
    The EQ-5D-5L VAS is a 20-cm VAS for recording self-rated current HRQoL state and is used to describe the participants' health status on the day of the assessment. The EQ-5D-5L VAS score is recorded by each participant for his or her current HRQoL state and scored 0 ("the worst health you can imagine") to 100 ("the best health you can imagine"). The value 100 indicates improvement.

  12. Number of Participants With Anti-Axicabtagene Ciloleucel Antibodies [ Time Frame: From first dose of axicabtagene up to a median follow-up: 24 months ]
  13. Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    A TEAE is defined as any AE that begins on or after the first dose of study treatment (axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion or SOC), excluding bridging therapy. Participant incidence rates of TEAEs, including all, serious, fatal, CTCAE Grade 3 or higher, and treatment related AEs reported will be tabulated by preferred term and system organ class coded with the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA).

  14. Percentage of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Laboratory Values Reported as Grade 3 or Higher TEAEs [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Grading categories were determined by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. Grade 1: mild, Grade 2: moderate, Grade 3: severe or medically significant, Grade 4: life-threatening.
