Updates in the Management of Mantle Cell Lymphoma: Is There Still a Role for Transplant?

Recent advances in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) represent a major paradigm shift. The results of the TRIANGLE study suggest that incorporation of a covalent Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, ibrutinib, as a component of induction therapy obviates the need for consolidation therapy with autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) in patients <66 years who achieve remission following ibrutinib-based induction chemoimmunotherapy. Allogeneic HCT for relapsed/refractory MCL has also been deferred to disease progression or relapse following multiple prior therapies. Educating the clinicians about the recent advances and the benefits/risks associated with the use of HCT, BTK inhibitors (BTKi) and CAR T-cell therapy can help them make informed clinical decisions for individual patients.

Target Audience

This educational program is designed to meet the educational needs of oncologists, hematologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants, and other health care professionals who manage patients with hematologic malignancies.

Learning Objectives

Following this program, participants should be able to:

  • Describe the current treatment approach and rationale for the development of novel treatment options for newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
  • Review the available clinical evidence supporting the use of CAR T-cell therapy and noncovalent BTKi for patients with relapsed/refractory MCL.
  • Develop an individualized treatment plan for patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory MCL.
