Led the ZUMA-7 overall survival analysis that made CAR-T the standard second-line therapy for early-relapsing lymphoma.
Jason Westin was first author of the ZUMA-7 overall survival report, which showed axicabtagene ciloleucel improves survival compared with standard chemoimmunotherapy and transplant in primary refractory or early relapsed large B-cell lymphoma, the first randomised survival benefit for a CAR-T therapy and the trial that moved CAR-T into second line. He leads the Smart Start precision-medicine trials in DLBCL and lymphoma clinical research at MD Anderson.
The reason second-line CAR-T is offered with axicabtagene ciloleucel or lisocabtagene maraleucel rather than tisagenlecleucel. The trial is also the strongest evidence in the field that the interval between apheresis and infusion, and what is given during it, is part of the treatment rather than logistics around it.
ZUMA-7 rewrote second-line treatment for aggressive lymphoma: patients whose disease returns within a year of R-CHOP should be offered CAR-T rather than salvage chemotherapy and transplant. It is also one of the few cell-therapy trials to show an overall survival benefit despite crossover. Patients relapsing later than 12 months were not studied and transplant remains standard for them if chemosensitive.
