Taking a BiTE out of Lymphoma: Bispecific Antibodies in B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Cancers (Basel). 2024 Apr 28;16(9):1724. doi: 10.3390/cancers16091724.

Abstract

B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) refers to a heterogenous group of diseases, all of which have a wide range of treatment strategies and patient outcomes. There have been multiple novel, immune-based therapies approved in NHL in the last decade, including bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) and chimeric antigen receptor therapy (CAR-T). With a host of new therapies, an important next step will be determining how these therapies should be sequenced in contemporary management strategies. This review seeks to offer a framework for the ways in which BsABs can be incorporated into the current management paradigm for NHL, with special attention paid to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).

Keywords: BsABs; DLBCL; FL; MCL; NHL; bispecifics; management; treatment.
