China grapples with providing access to CAR T therapies

April 30, 2024
By Tamra Sami, Ruchita Kumar, and Sahil Arora
The process of manufacturing autologous T-cell therapies is technically challenging when compared with other oncology drugs, making the overall cost of developing CAR T therapies significantly higher. A challenging reimbursement environment for drugs listed on China’s National Reimbursement Drug List also means that most patients will have to pay out of pocket to access CAR T therapies. Taken together, complex logistics – production, manufacturing and supply chain – and complicated administration requirements are key bottlenecks that inflate the input costs involved in developing these specialized treatment options.

FDA expands Legend, J&J’s Carvykti with ‘best-case’ label in MM

April 8, 2024
By Jennifer Boggs
Following the U.S. FDA’s expansion of competing BCMA-targeting CAR T therapy Abecma (idecabtagene vicleucel) to include third-line and later treatment in multiple myeloma (MM) patients, the agency cleared Carvykti (ciltacabtagene autoleucel) from Legend Biotech Corp. and Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen unit for use in MM patients as early as second-line treatment. The label, which RBC Capital Markets analyst Leonid Timashev called a “best-case scenario,” includes no notable updates to the black box warning and should help accelerate and expand Carvykti’s update in the U.S., with 2024 revenues expected to top $950 million.

April 5, 2024
By Randy Osborne
Mixed opinions from the U.S. FDA’s Oncology Drugs Advisory Committee last month didn’t stop the agency from green-lighting an expanded label for Abecma (idecabtagene vicleucel) to include adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (r/r MM) after two or more prior lines of therapy including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.

Adcom CAR T party favors Carvykti in MM, Abecma not so much

March 15, 2024
By Randy Osborne
The U.S. FDA’s Oncology Drugs Advisory Committee, in two separate sessions, took up the matters of Carvykti (ciltacabtagene autoleucel) from Johnson & Johnson and the Bristol Myers Squibb Co. product Abecma (idecabtagene vicleucel) – specifically, whether the benefits of each CAR T therapy outweigh the risks in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM).

Adcom to weigh CAR T benefit in myeloma against early deaths

March 13, 2024
By Mari Serebrov
There’s no denying that Johnson & Johnson’s Carvykti (ciltacabtagene autoleucel) and Bristol Myers Squibb Co.’s Abecma (idecabtagene vicleucel) show clinical benefit as they seek to move up in the line of treatment for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. But the question that will be put to the U.S. FDA’s Oncology Drugs Advisory Committee March 15 is whether the benefit outweighs a risk of early deaths seen with both CAR T therapies.
