Background

Lisocabtagene maraleucel is a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, similar to brexucabtagene autoleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel.8,10 Lisocabtagene maraleucel is a genetically modified autologous T-cell therapy that targets CD19, the B-lymphocyte surface antigen B4.10

CAR T-cell therapy has changed the treatment of B-cell lymphomas, significantly increasing survival rates over standard therapy.8 However, data on the efficacy of CAR T-cell therapies on less severe forms of B-cell lymphoma are lacking.8 Despite the adverse reactions, the majority of patients given lisocabtagene maraleucel reported an overall increase in quality of life over a 1 year period.8

Lisocabtagene maraleucel was granted FDA approval on 5 February 2021 9 and EC approval on 5 April 2022.12 It was later granted Health Canada approval on 6 May 2022.13

Pharmacodynamics

Lisocabtagene maraleucel is a CAR T-cell therapy indicated to treat adults with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after ≥2 systemic therapies, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, high-grade B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, and grade 3B follicular lymphoma.10 It has a long duration of action as it is detected in patients up to a year after infusion.10 Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of cytokine release syndrome, false-positive HIV tests, effects on their ability to drive, hypersensitivity, infection, cytopenia, hyogammaglobulinemia, and secondary malignancies.10

Mechanism of action

Lisocabtagene maraleucel is chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy that targets CD19, also known as the B-lymphocyte surface antigen B4.10 The CAR is composed of an FMC63 monoclonal antibody single chain variable fragment, IgG4 hinge region, CD28 transmembrane domain, 4-1BB costimulatory domain, and CD3ζ activation domain.10 FMC63 is an IgG2a mouse monoclonal antibody that targets CD19.1 The IgG4 hinge region can interact with Fcγ receptors to modulate the response of hematopoietic cells.2,3 The CD28 transmembrane domain can stimulate the activity or tolerance of T-cells.4 4-1BB enhances cytotoxic T-cell activity as well as the production of interferon-γ.5 The CD23ζ cytoplasmic domain mediates T-cell activation by CD2, a T-cell surface adhesion molecule.6

Absorption

Lisocabtagene maraleucel reaches a median Cmax of 23928.2 copies/µg with a median AUC of 213730 copies*day/µg.7 The median time to peak expansion of T-cells was 12 days.7,10

Compared to non-responders, patients with a partial or complete response showed a 3.55-fold increase in Cmax and a 2.72-fold increase in AUC.7 Compared to non-responders, patients with a higher baseline tumor burden showed a 2.46-fold increase in Cmax, patients with cytokine release syndrome showed a 2.29-fold increase, and patients with neurological events showed a 3.34-fold increase.7

Toxicity

Data regarding overdoses of lisocabtagene maraleucel are not readily available.10 Patients experiencing an overdose may be experience and increased risk and severity of severe infections, severe and prolonged cytopenia, hypogammaglobulinemia, cytokine release syndrome, and neurological toxicities.10 In the event of an overdose, initiate symptomatic and supportive measures.
