Treatment patterns, health care resource utilization, and costs of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell vs standard therapy for relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma in the United States.

Non-CAR T was associated with a greater use of post-index LOT, which also had shorter TTNT and treatment-free intervals. This suggests frequent and earlier progression as patients cycle through non-CAR T therapies. Standardized costs were higher in post-index non-CAR T vs post-CAR T episode periods. This suggests that earlier adoption of CAR T may reduce cycling through increasingly more expensive and less effective non-CAR T LOTs, potentially reducing HRU and financial burdens on patients with R/R MCL and the health system.
