Classification of patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma who do not develop early CRS/NE toxicity using ZUMA clinical trial data by Davide Bedognetti, David M Barrett, Jorge Andrade, Sabina Adhikary, Mike Mattie, Kelly Speth, Jin Xie, Rhine Shen, Qinghua Song, Jenny J Kim

“…We identified a top model for no early CRS/NE using a set of six pre-lymphodepletion clinicopathologic features: number of lines of prior systemic therapy, age, baseline tumor burden (as measured by sum of the product of the diameters), C-reactive protein, aspartate transaminase, and hemoglobin, which achieves a positive predictive value of 0.71 in the holdout validation cohort. Additionally, we find that predicted probabilities generated from the model are strongly associated with incidence of Grade 2 or higher NE.Conclusions We illustrated that routine clinicopathologic variables can be used to identify patients at low risk of developing early post-treatment CRS and/or NE. …”
