All in on ide-cel, Bris­tol My­ers Squibb writes off $470M as sec­ond BC­MA CAR-T is eject­ed from the pipeline

With just a lit­tle over a month to go be­fore the FDA is slat­ed to de­cide on ide-cel, Bris­tol My­ers Squibb is writ­ing off $470 mil­lion as it scraps a sec­ond BC­MA CAR-T, dubbed or­va-cel.

While ide-cel was the sub­ject of a Cel­gene col­lab­o­ra­tion with blue­bird bio, or­va-cel was orig­i­nal­ly de­vel­oped by Juno Ther­a­peu­tics, which Cel­gene snapped up for $9 bil­lion be­fore get­ting ac­quired by Bris­tol My­ers Squibb it­self.
