Abstract

Simple Summary: Bispecific antibodies are a novel type of immune-based therapy used to treat patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This review article will help define the current treatment landscape of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and detail ways in which bispecific antibodies fit in the current management paradigm, with special attention paid to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma. B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) refers to a heterogenous group of diseases, all of which have a wide range of treatment strategies and patient outcomes. There have been multiple novel, immune-based therapies approved in NHL in the last decade, including bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) and chimeric antigen receptor therapy (CAR-T). With a host of new therapies, an important next step will be determining how these therapies should be sequenced in contemporary management strategies. This review seeks to offer a framework for the ways in which BsABs can be incorporated into the current management paradigm for NHL, with special attention paid to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
