CAR-T Cell Therapy in First Line for High Risk Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: Review of Efficacy and Cost-Effectiveness Against Standard of Care Chemo-Immunotherapy

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a malignancy of immense biological and clinical heterogeneity. Based on the transcriptomic or genomic approach, several different classification schemes have evolved over the years to subdivide DLBCL into clinically (prognostically) relevant subsets, but each leaves unclassified samples. Herein, we outline the DLBCL tumor biology behind the actual and potential drug targets and address the challenges and drawbacks coupled with their (potential) use. Therapeutic modalities are discussed, including small-molecule inhibitors, naked antibodies, antibody–drug conjugates, chimeric antigen receptors, bispecific antibodies and T-cell engagers, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Candidate drugs explored in ongoing clinical trials are coupled with diverse toxicity issues and refractoriness to drugs. According to the literature on DLBCL, the promise for new therapeutic targets lies in epigenetic alterations, B-cell receptor and NF-κB pathways. Herein, we present putative targets hiding in lipid pathways, ferroptosis, and the gut microbiome that could be used in addition to immuno-chemotherapy to improve the general health status of DLBCL patients, thus increasing the chance of being cured. It may be time to devote more effort to exploring DLBCL metabolism to discover novel druggable targets. We also performed a bibliometric and knowledge-map analysis of the literature on DLBCL published from 2014–2023.
