CD20 X CD3 Bispecifics—Redefining Treatment for Patients with R/R DLBCL/LBCL in the Community Setting

CME/CE

Host: Matthew Lunning, DO, FACP
In the rapidly evolving landscape of treating patients with relapsed or refractory large/diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL/DLBCL), recent advancements are providing newfound hope. Immunochemotherapy with R-CHOP has long been the standard first-line treatment, but a significant portion of patients experience relapses and refractory disease. Until recently, salvage chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) was the only curative option. However, the introduction of novel therapies including T-cell engaging therapies has sparked a paradigm shift in R/R LBCL/DLBCL management.

In this transforming landscape, bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) stand out as a remarkable addition. They offer readily available, "off-the-shelf" options that do not require a manufacturing process tailored to each patient, with the advantage of lower rates of severe side effects compared to CAR T-cell therapy, making them a promising choice, particularly for older patients and those with late-stage disease.

This web-based, on-demand activity highlights key clinical trial evidence for bispecific antibodies targeting CD20 and CD3, and how to contextualize the rationale for and clinical utility of integrating CD20 X CD3 bispecific antibodies into community-based clinical practice. Expert faculty offer insights and advice based on their own real-world clinical practice experiences regarding the management and treatment of R/R DLBCL/LBCL and appropriate …
