Axi-cel CAR T targets the CD19 molecule on large B-cell lymphoma cells. The ZUMA-7 trial demonstrated that axi-cel reduced the risk of disease progression, the need for new therapy, or death by 60% compared to standard therapy. Despite these positive outcomes in event-free survival and overall survival, some patients did not respond well to therapy or relapsed quickly after treatment. Researchers wanted to assess if there were specific tumor characteristics associated with improved outcomes that could better inform treatment selection. Their findings were published today in Nature Medicine.
