The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic benefit of tisagenlecleucel compared to the existing standard of care in adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL). For tisagenlecleucel patients, patient-level data from the JULIET study (CTL019C2201) was used. Data for patients treated with the appropriate comparator therapy (ACT) in German routine care was collected via chart review by 8 medical centers in Germany. The medical charts provided data on adult patients at the time of the qualifying treatments in the time period from approximately 2010 to 2017 with the longest possible follow-up phases (up to 5 years, but only until December 31, 2020).

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Survival (OS) | For the external control and tisagenelcleucel FAS groups: OS was defined as the time from the date of treatment start to the date of death due to any cause and censored otherwise. For the tisagenelcleucel ITT group: OS was defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of death due to any cause and censored otherwise. | Up to approximately 5 years |
| Progression-free Survival (PFS) | For the external control and tisagenelcleucel FAS groups: PFS was defined as the time from the date of treatment start to the date of first documented disease progression or death due to any cause and censored otherwise. For the tisagenelcleucel ITT group: PFS was defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of first documented disease progression or death due to any cause and censored otherwise. | Up to approximately 5 years |
| Event-free Survival (EFS) | For the external control and tisagenelcleucel FAS groups: EFS was defined as the time from the date of treatment start to the date of first documented disease progression or relapse, new treatment for lymphoma or death due to any cause and censored otherwise. For the tisagenelcleucel ITT group: EFS was defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of first documented disease progression or relapse, new treatment for lymphoma or death due to any cause. | Up to approximately 5 years |
| Overall Response Rate (ORR) | ORR was defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall disease response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), respectively until progressive disease or start of new anticancer therapy, whichever came first. CR and PR efficacy evaluation was based on Cheson Response Criteria and The Lugano Classification (2014). | Up to approximately 5 years |

Inclusion criteria:
Aged 18 years or older.
Histologically confirmed DLBCL, transformed indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) was also allowed (such as transformed follicular lymphoma).
r/r DLBCL after 2 or more chemotherapy lines, including rituximab and anthracycline. Previous autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was allowed. For transformed indolent NHL, anthracycline treatment before transformation was allowed.
Had received patient-individual therapy in the qualifying line(s) (3rd or to a maximum of 9th line). Patient-individual therapy was chosen in consideration of molecular genetic lymphoma characteristics, previous therapies, disease history and patient's general condition, including an allogeneic HSCT where possible. Best supportive care in the palliative setting was also a treatment option.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. Even if no ECOG performance status or Karnofsky Index was documented in patient charts the patient could be eligible for documentation.
Had adequate organ function at the discretion of the treating physician:
