Eligibility Criteria
Adult patients with DLBCL who received CAR-T therapy or allo-HSCT procedure between January 1, 2017 to September 31, 2019
You may qualify if:
- CAR-T cohort:
- Patients had at least one International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD- 10) diagnosis code for DLBCL.
- Patients received CAR-T therapy following DLBCL diagnosis. The administration date of CAR-T therapy was defined as the index date. Patients who received both CAR-T therapy and allo-HSCT were classified based on the first treatment that the patient received
- Patients were at least 18 years of age as of the index date
- Patients had at least three months of continuous eligibility in the Medicare Part A and Part B data before the index date. Since 2019 Part D data is not available in the current data cut, eligibility requirement in the Part D data was not required
- Patients were further classified into CAR-T IP and CAR-T OP cohorts depending on where the administration occurred.
- Allo-HSCT cohort:
- Patients had at least one ICD-10 diagnosis code for DLBCL.
- Patients received allo-HSCT following DLBCL diagnosis. The date of allo-HSCT procedure was defined as the index date. Patients who received both CAR-T therapy and allo-HSCT were classified based on the first treatment the patient received
- Patients were at least 18 years of age as of the index date
- Patients had at least three months of continuous eligibility in the Medicare Part A and Part B data before the index date. Since 2019 Part D data is not available in the current data cut, eligibility requirement in the Part D data was not required
You may not qualify if:
- \- Patients had a medical claim associated with a clinical trial (ICD-9 CM code V70.7; ICD-10 CM code Z00.6) during one month before and after the index date
