Lisocabtagene maraleucel is a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, similar to brexucabtagene autoleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel. Lisocabtagene maraleucel is a genetically modified autologous T-cell therapy that targets CD19, the B-lymphocyte surface antigen B4.
CAR T-cell therapy has changed the treatment of B-cell lymphomas, significantly increasing survival rates over standard therapy. However, data on the efficacy of CAR T-cell therapies on less severe forms of B-cell lymphoma are lacking. Despite the adverse reactions, the majority of patients given lisocabtagene maraleucel reported an overall increase in quality of life over a 1 year period.
Lisocabtagene maraleucel was granted FDA approval on 5 February 2021 and EC approval on 5 April 2022. It was later granted Health Canada approval on 6 May 2022.
Lisocabtagene maraleucel is indicated to treat adults with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after β₯2 systemic therapies, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, high-grade B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, and grade 3B follicular lymphoma.
