Abstract

Follicular lymphoma is the second most diagnosed lymphoma in Western Europe. Significant advancements have considerably improved the survival of FL patients. However, 10-20% of these patients are refractory to standard treatments, and most of them will relapse. The treatment of follicular lymphoma patients with multiply relapsed or refractory disease represents an area of high-unmet needing new treatments with stronger efficacy. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy targeting B-cell antigens, such as CD19 or CD20, is emerging as an efficacious treatment for R/R follicular lymphoma patients, particularly for those with early relapse and refractory to alkylating agents and to anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, resulting in a high rate of durable responses in a high proportion of patients.
