Increasing interest in the development of new therapies for mantle cell lymphoma, such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies, has been fueling research, Matasar said.
“There is a lot of increasing interest in developing newer therapies for mantle cell lymphoma," he said. "It really is a disease that has received a great amount of attention, with significant progress."
Matasar said t his attention has led to recent approvals of treatments including pirtobrutinib (Jaypirca, Eli Lilly & Co.) and brexucabtagene autoleucel (Tecartus, Kite Pharma/Gilead Sciences).”
