The European Commission approved Breyanzi (lisocabtagene maraleucel) for relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma after 2 prior therapies, based on Phase I TRANSCEND NHL 001 trial results.
Why It Matters To Oncology
▪ Breyanzi addresses a critical gap for MCL patients relapsing after BTK inhibitors, who typically face poor outcomes.
▪ TRANSCEND NHL 001 showed 82.7% overall response and 71.6% complete response rates, with durable responses at 24 months.
▪ Expands Breyanzi's reach across multiple aggressive B-cell lymphomas.
The Financials
▪ Breyanzi generated $747M in sales for BMS in 2023, reinforcing its growth potential.
What They're Saying
▪ Emma Charles, BMS SVP Europe: Breyanzi “has the opportunity to address a treatment gap for this patient population.”
What's Next
▪ BMS is pursuing approval in relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma after positive TRANSCEND FL data (ORR 95.5%).
▪ FDA priority review decision is expected next month.
