What was measured

ORR: Percentage of participants with CR (Complete Metabolic Response (CMR);Complete Radiologic Response (CRR)) or PR (partial metabolic response (PMR); partial radiologic response (PRR)).CMR: Positron emission tomography (PET) 5-point scale scores: 1-No uptake above background; 2-Uptake ≤mediastinum; 3-Uptake \>mediastinum but ≤liver, with/without residual mass; no new lesions, no FDG-avid disease in bone marrow. CRR: Target nodes/nodal masses regressed ≤1.5 cm in longest diameter, no extralymphatic sites, no non-measured lesions, normal organ size, no new sites, normal bone marrow morphology. PMR: Scores 4 (uptake moderately \>liver), 5 (uptake markedly \>liver, new lesions) with reduced uptake from baseline and residual mass, no new lesions. Responding at interim/residual disease at end of treatment. PRR: ≥50% decrease in sum of diameters of up to 6 target measurable lesions, no increase in non-measured lesions, spleen length decreased \>50% if previously enlarged, no new lesion sites.

Analysis population: Participants in the Full Analysis Set were analyzed.

Groups in this outcome

Axicabtagene Ciloleucel

Participants received cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m\^2/day IV infusion and fludarabine 30 mg/m\^2/day IV infusion conditioning chemotherapy for 3 days followed by axicabtagene ciloleucel administered as a single IV infusion at a target dose of 2 x 10\^6 anti-CD19 CAR transduced autologous T cells/kg on Day 0.

Standard of Care Therapy

Participants received 2 or 3, 21-day cycles of second-line chemotherapy regimen: * R-ICE: rituximab 375mg/m\^2 before chemotherapy, ifosfamide 5g/m\^2 24 hours CI on Day 2 + mesna, carboplatin AUC 5 Day 2, maximum dose 800mg, etoposide 100mg/m\^2/day on Days 1-3; * R-ESHAP: rituximab 375mg/m\^2 Day 1, etoposide 40mg/m\^2/day IV on Days 1-4, methylprednisolone 500mg/day IV on Days 1-4 or 5, cisplatin at 25mg/m\^2/day CI Days 1-4, cytarabine 2g/m\^2 on Day 5; * R-GDP: rituximab 375mg/m\^2 Day 1 (or Day 8), gemcitabine 1g/m\^2 on Days 1 and 8, dexamethasone 40mg on Days 1-4, cisplatin 75mg/m\^2 Day 1 or carboplatin AUC=5; or * R-DHAP: rituximab 375mg/m\^2 before chemotherapy, dexamethasone 40mg/day on Days 1-4, high dose cytarabine 2g/m\^2 every 12 hours for 2 doses on Day 2 following platinum, cisplatin 100mg/m\^2 24 hours CI on Day 1 or oxaliplatin 100mg/m\^2. Participants who responded to second-line chemotherapy got high dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplant.
