A recent study highlights the cost-saving benefits of CAR T-cell therapy for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients. Compared to traditional treatments, CAR T-cell therapy showed reduced reliance on additional therapies and lower healthcare costs, despite its high upfront price. Researchers emphasize its potential to alleviate patient and system burdens.1

Data from a real-world study indicates that MCL patients undergoing CAR T-cell therapy require fewer subsequent treatments. Only 15% needed additional therapy, compared to 37% in non-CAR T patients. The findings suggest CAR T-cell therapy may offer a more sustainable treatment option for relapsed or refractory MCL cases.1

Research comparing CAR T-cell therapy to standard care in MCL patients shows significant cost reductions. While the therapy itself is expensive, the reduced need for further treatments and lower medical expenses highlight its economic advantages. The study calls for further evaluation of its long-term cost-effectiveness.1
