2L TRANSFORM trial

A Phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter,
pivotal trial (N=184)1

TRANSFORM trial evaluated Breyanzi®
head-to-head vs standard therapy in 2L LBCL patients who were R/R ≤ 12 months and potential candidates for transplant1

Standard therapy in the TRANSFORM trial was chemoimmunotherapy followed by high-dose therapy + SCT1
Primary endpoint: EFS (evaluated at 6.2 months)2
Median follow-up at primary analysis was 17.5 months.4
Select secondary endpoints (evaluated at primary analysis): CR rate, PFS, ORR, and DoCR2
Median follow-up at interim analysis was 6.2 months.4
Bridging therapy prior to receiving Breyanzi was optional and patients in the standard therapy arm were allowed to cross over to the Breyanzi arm.2
Patients receiving standard therapy were allowed to receive Breyanzi if they failed to achieve CR or PR after 3 cycles of salvage immunochemotherapy, or had disease progression at any time, or if the patient needed to start a new treatment due to efficacy concerns.2
Over 4x improvement in mEFS over standard therapy in patients who were R/R ≤12 months1*
At 6.2 months median follow-up, mEFS was 10.1 months for Breyanzi vs 2.3 months for standard therapy1
  • 66% reduction in risk of EFS events; HR: 0.34, 95% CI (0.22, 0.52)1†
  • P<0.00011‡
At 17.5 months (median) follow-up, mEFS was not reached in patients who received Breyanzi at primary analysis5
  • Breyanzi mEFS: NR, 95% CI: (9.5, NR)
  • Standard therapy mEFS: 2.4 months, 95% CI: (2.2, 4.9)

Overall survival (OS) was a secondary endpoint of the TRANSFORM study.4
  • At primary analysis, OS was not statistically significant
  • Data was limited for OS because of the number of patient deaths and was based on the ITT principle
  • Estimates were not adjusted for patient crossover
  • Median follow-up in both arms: 17.5 months.
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.

TRANSFORM trial1
2L TRANSFORM trial process
2L TRANSFORM trial process
  • Primary endpoint: EFS2
  • Select secondary endpoints: CR rate, PFS, OS, ORR, DoCR2
Trial design was patient-centric, allowing for crossover to the Breyanzi arm
from the standard therapy arm2
Patients receiving standard therapy treatment were allowed to receive Breyanzi if they failed to achieve CR or PR after 3 cycles of salvage immunochemotherapy, or had disease progression at any time, or if the patient needed to start a new treatment due to efficacy concerns.2
TRANSFORM trial design and patient disposition1
Breyanzi arm (N=92)1
Patients randomized to Breyanzi were to receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy consisting of fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day and cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2/day concurrently for 3 days followed by Breyanzi infusion 2 to 7 days after completion of lymphodepleting chemotherapy. Breyanzi planned dose of 100 × 106 CAR+ T cells.
Bridging chemotherapy was permitted between leukapheresis and the start of lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
  • Of 92 patients randomized to receive Breyanzi, 89 (97%) received Breyanzi
  • Fifty-eight (63%) patients received bridging therapy
  • One (1.1%; manufacturing failure) patient received a nonconforming product
Standard therapy arm (N=92)1
  • Of the 92 patients randomized to receive standard therapy, 91 started treatment and 43 (47%) received high-dose therapy and HSCT
The most common reason for not receiving HSCT was lack of efficacy of the salvage chemotherapy
21% of Breyanzi patients were treated in an outpatient setting
per physicians’ discretion1
Think Breyanzi next for patients who are primary refractory or relapsed
in ≤12 months after 1 prior line of therapy
