Pearl van Heteren, MD, on the DALY 2-EU trial in R/R DLBCL

In this SOHO Insider interview, Pearl van Heteren, MD, medical director in clinical development (Europe) at Miltenyi Biomedicine, discusses the primary analysis of the DALY 2-EU trial in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

The trial investigators are comparing zamtocabtagene autoleucel (zamto-cel), a CAR-T cell therapy, with the standard of care as second-line therapy in nontransplant eligible patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL. Dr. van Heteran discusses early efficacy and safety signals of zamto-cel and the therapy’s rapid manufacturing time.

The trial is being conducted in twelve sites across Europe.
