Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. said FDA has accepted for Priority Review its Biologics License Application for lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel), the company’s autologous anti-CD19 CAR T-cell immunotherapy with a defined composition of purified CD8+ and CD4+ CAR T cells for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma after at least two prior therapies. The FDA has set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act goal date of Aug. 17.
New research led by Friends of Cancer Research demonstrates that decreases in circulating tumor DNA after initiation of treatment are associated with improved overall survival in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with immunotherapy or chemotherapy.
