Roche’s Rituxan (rituximab) with chemotherapy is the standard-of-care regimen against which other agents are compared. While Rituxan possesses the highest clinical efficacy, it no longer possesses the highest commercial potential, as there are now rituximab biosimilars available in the US, five major Western European markets, and Japan.

Therapies with the highest commercial potential in DLBCL are the chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies: Gilead’s Yescarta, Novartis’ Kymriah, and Celgene’s pipeline therapy lisocabtagene maraleucel, which have demonstrated high efficacy.

Other agents, including Celgene’s Revlimid (lenalidomide), Roche’s Polivy (polatuzumab vedotin-piiq) TG Therapeutics’ ublituximab and umbralisib (also known as the U2 regimen), AbbVie and Johnson & Johnson’s Imbruvica, Teva’s Treanda (bendamustine), MorphoSys’ tafasitamab, and Amgen’s Blincyto (blinatumomab), rank similarly in terms of commercial and clinical attributes.
