FDA ad­vis­ers back No­var­tis’ game-chang­ing per­son­al­ized CAR-T for can­cer, ap­proval in sight

The FDA’s ad­vi­so­ry com­mit­tee on can­cer drugs has of­fered a group thumbs-up for No­var­tis’ trail­blaz­ing CAR-T CTL019 (ti­s­agen­le­cleu­cel), mark­ing a key mile­stone for the phar­ma gi­ant as it nears the like­ly launch of a ground­break­ing per­son­al­ized cell ther­a­py for B-cell acute lym­phoblas­tic leukemia.

These out­side ex­perts at the FDA vot­ed 10 to 0 to urge an ap­proval for this drug, of­fer­ing some key sup­port af­ter reg­u­la­tors care­ful­ly re­viewed the com­plex man­u­fac­tur­ing process as well as the safe­ty and ef­fi­ca­cy pro­files of this ther­a­py.
