Our Goals for Today

Augment your knowledge of prognostic factors and
evidence that support modern decision-making in R/R
DLBCL, including with off-the-shelf options

Equip you with the skills you need to develop personalized
treatment plans for patients with R/R DLBCL with unmet
medical needs

Provide you with guidance on strategies for addressing
unique toxicities associated with modern therapy

How Do We Apply These Data to Address Unmet Needs

67-year-old man with DLBCL who

relapses 3 months after completion of
polatuzumab + RCHP

+ He has abdominal pain with PET scan
showing FDG avid large abdominal
mass (12 cm), ascites, plural effusion, and
intrathoracic adenopathy

+ LDH is 900

This patient should be considered for
CAR-T therapy and needs bridging therapy
due to bulky symptomatic disease

Patient received polatuzumab in the first
line, hence we would not use polatuzumab
+ rituximab or polatuzumab + brentuximab
vedotin

Glofitinib + GemOx (STARGLO)
represents a good second-line option with
relatively high response rate

How Do We Apply These Data to Address Unmet Needs’

64-year-old woman with R/R DLBCL,
status post ASCT, received CAR-T

th but d if i
erapy Dut developed progressive + This patient had no response to CAR-T

therapy and is not progressing after anti-
CD20 bispecific antibody therapy with
CD20-negative disease

disease on day 30 post CAR-T; she
received epcoritamab with
CR lasting 6 months

+ PET scan now shows progression of the

disease above and below the diaphragm + She would be a good candidate for BV-R2
+ Biopsy of FDG avid cervical lymph node — Although CD30 is <1%, this
shows DLBCL, CD20-negative, CD30 <1% combination is active regardless of

Take-Home Thoughts

One of the biggest advantages of TCE/bispecific antibodies is their ability
to be combined with other therapies

ib + GemOx is a new option in the secon:

+ For patients who are not candidates for CAR-T, HDC, or HSCT
+ Bridging therapy for CAR-T

BV R2 active in R/R setting

+ Including post CAR-T
+ Regardless of CD30 expression

Ongoing studies and real-world data will inform optimal sequence of therapy
