DHA (dexamethasone, cytarabine) + platinum (carboplatin, cisplatin, or oxaliplatin) + rituximab

In this case study

was chosen as 3L treatment

for this patient due to high risk following progression on ibrutinib

Treatment Timeline: Tecartus®

Adverse events during hospitalisation following Tecartus®

3L, third-line; CNS, central nervous system; FluCy, fludarabine and cyclophosphamide; MCL, mantle cell lymphoma.
*Grade 1 CRS requires symptomatic treatment only. If no improvement is observed after 24 hours, tocilizumab 8 mg/kg should be administered intravenously over 1 hour (not to exceed 800 mg). CRS, cytokine release syndrome; h, hour; ICANS, immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome.
