Abstract
Relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) is a challenging condition to treat, and there is an unmet clinical need for effective therapies. Recently, polatuzumab vedotin (Pola), an anti-CD79b antibody-drug-conjugate (ADC), combined with bendamustine-rituximab (BR), has been approved for R/R DLBCL patients. However, real-world data on Pola-based regimens in R/R DLBCL patients, especially in Thailand, are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pola-based salvage treatment in R/R DLBCL patients in Thailand. Thirty-five patients who received Pola-based treatment were included in the study, and their data were compared to 180 matched patients who received non-Pola-based therapy. The overall response rate (ORR) in the Pola group was 62.8%, with complete remission and partial remission rates of 17.1% and 45.7%, respectively. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 10.6 months and 12.8 months, respectively. The study found a significantly higher ORR in Pola-based salvage treatments compared to non-Pola-based therapy (62.8% vs. 33.3%). The survival outcomes were also significantly superior in the Pola group, with longer median PFS and OS than the control group. Grades 3–4 adverse events (AEs) were mainly hematological, and they were tolerable. In conclusion, this study provides real-world evidence of the efficacy and safety of Pola-based salvage treatment in R/R DLBCL patients in Thailand. The results of this study are promising and suggest that Pola-based salvage treatment could be a viable option for R/R DLBCL patients who have limited treatment options. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
