description Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to analyse the outcomes of patients with large B‐cell lymphoma (LBCL) treated with chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell therapy (CAR‐Tx), with a focus on outcomes after CAR T‐cell failure, and to define the risk factors for rapid progression and further treatment. Methods We analysed 107 patients with LBCL from the Czech Republic and Slovakia who were treated in ≥3rd‐line with tisagenlecleucel or axicabtagene ciloleucel between 2019 and 2022. Results The overall response rate (ORR) was 60%, with a 50% complete response (CR) rate. The median progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 4.3 and 26.4 months, respectively. Sixty‐three patients (59%) were refractory or relapsed after CAR‐Tx. Of these patients, 39 received radiotherapy or systemic therapy, with an ORR of 22% (CR 8%). The median follow‐up of surviving patients in whom treatment failed was 10.6 months. Several factors predicting further treatment administration and outcomes were present even before CAR‐Tx. Risk factors for not receiving further therapy after CAR‐Tx failure were high lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels before apheresis, extranodal involvement (EN), high ferritin levels before lymphodepletion (LD) and ECOG PS >1 at R/P. The median OS‐2 (from R/P after CAR‐Tx) was 6.7 months (6‐month 57.9%) for treated patients and 0.4 months (6‐month 4.2%) for untreated patients (p < 0.001). The median PFS‐2 (from R/P after CAR‐Tx) was 3.2 months (6‐month 28.5%) for treated patients. The risk factors for a shorter PFS‐2 (n = 39) included: CRP > limit of the normal range (LNR) before LD, albumin < LNR and ECOG PS > 1 at R/P. All these factors, together with LDH > LNR before LD and EN involvement at R/P, predicted OS‐2 for treated patients. Conclusion Our findings allow better stratification of CAR‐Tx candidates and stress the need for a proactive approach (earlier restaging, intervention after partial remission achievement).
