AB - Despite revolutionary efficacy of CD19-CAR-T cell therapy (CAR-T) in aggressive B cell lymphoma, many patients still relapse mostly early. In early failure, distinct drugs support CAR-T which makes reliable and early prediction of imminent relapse/refractoriness critical. A complete metabolic remission (CR) on Fluor-18-Deoxyglucose (FDG) Positron-Emission-Computed Tomography (PET) 30 days after CAR-T (PET30) strongly predicts progression-free survival (PFS), but still fails in a relevant proportion of patients. We aimed to identify additional routine parameters in PET evaluation to enhance CAR-T response prediction.Thirty patients with aggressive B cell lymphoma treated with CAR-T were retrospectively analyzed. Pre-CAR-T, LDH was the strongest PFS-predictor also by multivariate analysis. Post-CAR-T, 10 out of 14 patients (71.4
