Yan Leyfman: Can bendamustine replace Flu/Cy as lymphodepleting chemotherapy before CAR-T in relapsed/refractory NHL
Yan Leyfman, Co-founder and Executive Director of MedNews Week, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“New Study Alert: CAR-T Prep Reimagined! Can bendamustine replace Flu/Cy as lymphodepleting chemotherapy before CAR-T in relapsed/refractory NHL?
In a large real-world study (n=265), bendamustine showed:
Comparable OS and PFS
Less severe neutropenia (71% vs. 17%)
Greater feasibility in outpatient settings
A promising alternative amidst global fludarabine shortages. Time to rethink how we prep for CART therapy? Kaplan-Meier and Cox models adjusted for CAR-T product, year, subtype, and steroid use.”
