Bristol Myers Squibb CAR T Cell Therapy Lisocabtagene Maraleucel gets EMA validation
Princton: Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) recently announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has validated its Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel), an investigational CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) and follicular lymphoma grade 3B (FL3B) after at least two prior therapies. Validation of the application confirms the submission is complete and begins the EMA's centralized review process.
Results from TRANSCEND NHL 001, the largest trial in third-line or greater R/R large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), and additional data from the TRANSCEND WORLD study were the basis of the liso-cel application. The studies evaluated patients with R/R LBCL and included patients with a broad range of histologies and high-risk disease as well as those who received liso-cel in the outpatient setting.
