Clinical Impact of CD19 Expression Assessed by Quantitative PCR in Lymphoma Patients Undergoing CAR-T Therapy. (PubMed, EJHaem)
In our study, we included 51 adult patients with LBCL treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel. Consistently negative patients may be suboptimal candidates for anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy. Alternative therapeutic options, such as bispecific antibodies or polatuzumab-based regimens, could be considered for this subset of patients.

Is first-line treatment with polatuzumab vedotin-rituximab-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisone (pola-R-CHP) for previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cost-effective in China? A cost-effectiveness analysis using a Markov model. (PubMed, BMJ Open)
Pola-R-CHP is not cost-effective in the first-line treatment for previously untreated CD20-positive DLBCL in China. A value-based price for the cost of pola is less than US$33.19/mg.

Efficacy and Safety of Polatuzumab Vedotin Plus Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin and Prednisone for Previously Untreated Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: A Real-World, Multi-Center, Retrospective Cohort Study. (PubMed, Hematol Oncol)
While 12-month PFS failed to reach statistical significance, subgroup analyses favor Pola-R-CHP. Further research with a wider population, longer follow-up, and screening of advantageous groups are warranted.

Treatment of refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma involving the central nervous system with polatuzumab vedotin-based regimen: a case report and literature review (PubMed, Zhonghua Xue Ye Xue Za Zhi)
Her initial treatment comprised chemo-free therapy and radiotherapy, followed by progression. In the second-line treatment, a Pola-based regimen was applied, and the patient achieved a complete response, suggesting that this regimen may be a therapeutic option for patients with DLBCL involving the central nervous system.

Analysis of Histologic, Immunohistochemical and Genomic Features of Large B Cell Lymphoma Tumors May Predict Response to Polatuzumab Vedotin Based Therapy in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Disease. (PubMed, Clin Lymphoma Myeloma Leuk)
In a single center real world retrospective analysis of R/R LBCL patients with available genomic data, polatuzumab based therapy may be less effective in patients with HGBL-NOS or MYC/BCL2 histology and MYC rearrangements, but not in patients with GCB COO LBCL without these features. Routine performance of more comprehensive pathologic analysis of tumors may inform the use of polatuzumab based therapy in patients with LBCL.
