Kite’s Yescarta® CAR T-cell Therapy Demonstrates Significantly Longer Overall Survival Versus Standard of Care as Initial Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Large B-cell Lymphoma
Yescarta is the first treatment in nearly 30 years to demonstrate a significant improvement in survival in this patient population.
- Yescarta is the first treatment in nearly 30 years to demonstrate a significant improvement in survival in this patient population.
- SOC therapy for this patient population has historically been a multi-step process expected to end with stem-cell transplant.
- Median OS was longer with Yescarta versus SOC (not reached versus 31.1 months, respectively) and 48-month OS estimates were higher with Yescarta (54.6% versus 46.0%, respectively).
- “Overall survival is the gold standard in cancer treatment and confirms Yescarta’s place as a treatment of curative intent for patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma,” said Frank Neumann, MD, PhD, SVP, Kite’s Global Head of Clinical Development.
