Thoughts on Gilead’s Recent FDA Approval for Tecartus (KTE-X19) in R/R Mantle Cell Lymphoma
On Friday, July 24, Gilead announced (press release) FDA accelerated approval of Tecartus (brexucabtagene autoleucel, formerly KTE-X19), the first and only CAR-T treatment for r/r mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
