Efficacy and Safety of Tisagenlecleucel in Adult Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Follicular Lymphoma

A Phase II, Single Arm, Multicenter Open Label Trial to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of Tisagenlecleucel (CTL019) in Adult Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Follicular Lymphoma

This is a multi-center, phase II study to determine the efficacy and safety of tisagenlecleucel in adult patients with relapsed or refractory FL.

This single-arm, open label study had the following sequential phases: Screening, Pretreatment, Treatment and Follow-up. In the Pre-treatment phase, the patient could undergo bridging therapy (optional) and lymphodepleting (LD) chemotherapy. Treatment and Follow-up Phase included tisagenlecleucel infusion, and safety and efficacy follow-up for at least 24 months. For all the patients who received tisagenlecleucel infusion, additional survival follow-up was to be performed to determine survival status every 3 months.
