Yan Leyfman: New Insights into CAR T-Cell Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Yan Leyfman, Executive Committee Member at Music Beats Cancer, shared on LinkedIn:

“New insights into CAR T-cell therapy for R/R LBCL

Single-cell RNA sequencing of 57 CAR T products reveals striking biological differences between axi-cel (CD28) and tisa-cel (4-1BB) therapies.

Key findings:

Axi-cel is enriched in CD4/CD8 central memory & effector T cells with higher immune activation.
Tisa-cel shows more proliferative but less functional profiles.

Prolonged expansion during tisa-cel manufacturing reduces naïve/memory T cells. Differences may explain axi-cel’s greater efficacy and toxicity.

Suggests manufacturing process – not the CAR construct – limits tisa-cel potency.”
