Applying Novel Advances in Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma

Interactive Video Lecture

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is associated with a variable pattern of relapse, with shorter durations of response and progression-free survival seen with each subsequent treatment. As a result of this relapsing pattern, the care of patients with FL generally requires multiple lines of therapy with alternative mechanisms of action—including the lenalidomide/rituximab regimen, an EZH2 inhibitor, various phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies, and, for patients interested in participating in clinical trials, investigational therapies. To optimize patient outcomes, it is important to be aware of which patient and disease characteristics to consider when sequencing such a large range of treatment options along with the mechanism of action and adverse events associated with each agent. In this video lecture, an expert discusses management strategies for patients with FL through the lens of clinical trial data along with real-world patient case narratives.
