Abecma Approved in Japan; Can BMS Meet the Increased Manufacturing Demand? Novartis and Pack Health Explore Digital Coaching to Improve Quality of Life Outcomes Following CAR-T Treatment

Here is a brief preview of this blast: On Thursday, January 20, BMS announced (press release) that Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) approved Abecma (BCMA CAR-T) for the treatment of ≥4L r/r MM. Moreover, a new clinical study evaluating the feasibility of a Digital Health Coaching Program for individuals who have received CAR-T therapy was observed on CT.gov. Of note, Pack Health is the sponsor of the trial with Novartis and Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center appearing as collaborators. Below, Celltelligence provides insights on Abecma’s potential market access in Japan, while commenting on how the current viral vector shortage could limit BMS’s ability to deliver Abecma in Japan.
