Prep­ping for a rapid-fire launch, Kite Phar­ma gets a pass from FDA on axi-cel pan­el re­view

The FDA has ev­i­dent­ly learned all it wants at this point from its out­side on­col­o­gy ex­perts on CAR-T. Kite Phar­ma’s close­ly-watched CAR-T drug axi-cel is get­ting a pass on an ad­comm meet­ing, which may sig­nal a quick thumbs up from reg­u­la­tors.

Kite $KITE ex­ecs think so, say­ing to­day that they will be ful­ly launch-ready by Sep­tem­ber in case an ear­ly OK comes through. And that bull­ish stance earned a 7% boost to its share price to­day.
