Elevated LDH greater than 400 U/L portends poorer overall survival in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients treated with CD19 CAR-T cell therapy in a real world multi-ethnic cohort

Abstract Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies have shown striking clinical activity in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma but robust biomarkers predictive of responsiveness are still needed. We treated a multi-ethnic cohort of 31 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients with axicabtagene ci...

description Abstract Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies have shown striking clinical activity in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma but robust biomarkers predictive of responsiveness are still needed. We treated a multi-ethnic cohort of 31 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients with axicabtagene ciloleucel with an overall response rate of 71%. Analysis of various biomarkers identified a significant decrease in overall survival with elevated lactate dehydrogenase, measured both at time of cell infusion and before lymphodepletion. Lactate dehydrogenase was prognostic in a multivariate analysis [HR = 1.47 (1.1–2.0)] and a value of 400 U/L at time of infusion and a value of 440 U/L before lymphodepletion provided the best prognostic cutoffs for overall survival in our cohort. These data demonstrate efficacy of anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in a diverse inner city population and demonstrate novel lactate dehydrogenase cutoffs as prognostic biomarkers.
