Lori, Greg and Tyler discuss last week’s call for a class-wide box warning on all commercial CAR T therapies, while investigations are ongoing into cases of secondary malignancies. How do we approach this balancing act of treatment and side effects?
Almost 30,000 patients have now been treated with CAR-T cell therapies since the first approval in 2017. In November 2023, the FDA launched a probe into malignancies caused by CAR T therapies, and just last week the agency called for a class-wide box warning on all commercial CAR T therapies with ongoing investigations into cases of secondary malignancies. How do we approach this balancing act of treatment and side effects?
Also this week: IPOs march on with ArriVent, CG Oncology, Alto Neuroscience, Fractyl Health; and what’s happening re: Congressional Budget Office, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and drug pricing.
