How to advance #CARTcell therapy to frontline treatment is the goal every CAR-T company strives for. On April 5, 2024, local time, Chinese pharmaceutical company Legend Biotech (LEGN.NS) shared exciting news as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (#FDA) officially approved #ciltacabtageneautoleucel for treating relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients. This significant decision brings new hope to patients who have undergone first-line treatment and developed resistance to standard therapies.
#Ciltacabtagene autoleucel
Ciltacabtagene autoleucel becomes the world’s first CAR-T product approved for second-line treatment! This milestone event paves the way for Legend Biotech to enter the global CAR-T market. What’s even more inspiring is that just the day before, the FDA approved BMS’s CAR-T therapy Abecma for third-line treatment of multiple myeloma. The approval of ciltacabtagene autoleucel signifies the strong competitiveness and innovation capabilities of Chinese pharmaceutical companies in the CAR-T field.
Marketing
As early as February 28, 2022, ciltacabtagene autoleucel was first approved for marketing in the United States for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in adults. As a pioneer of Chinese original CAR-T cell therapy, the successful market launch of this drug has won new glory for China’s biopharmaceutical industry. Currently, ciltacabtagene autoleucel is marketed in the United States, European Union, and Japan, and is also undergoing regulatory review in China, expected to be marketed domestically soon.
