Frequently asked questions about brexucabtagene autoleucel

What is brexucabtagene autoleucel used for?

Brexucabtagene autoleucel is studied in relapsed or refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia and relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma. It is a CAR-T cell therapy in oncology, developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc. (ticker GILD). The clinical program includes both adult and pediatric or adolescent participants with these B-cell malignancies.

What does brexucabtagene autoleucel target?

Brexucabtagene autoleucel targets CD19, a B-cell surface antigen. It is a CAR-T cell therapy, meaning the binding agent is engineered to recognize CD19 on malignant B cells. Targeting CD19 directs the modified T cells toward B-cell malignancies such as relapsed or refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia and mantle cell lymphoma.

Who makes brexucabtagene autoleucel?

Brexucabtagene autoleucel is developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc., which trades under the ticker GILD. The company sponsors the clinical program for the CD19-directed CAR-T therapy across relapsed or refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia and relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma.

What phase is brexucabtagene autoleucel in?

Brexucabtagene autoleucel is in Phase 1 development. It is an investigational CAR-T therapy, and the reported trials are listed as completed rather than active. The program includes Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies in relapsed or refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia and relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma.

What clinical trials is brexucabtagene autoleucel in?

Brexucabtagene autoleucel has been studied in completed trials including NCT04880434 and NCT02601313 in relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma, NCT02625480 in pediatric and adolescent relapsed or refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia or B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and NCT02614066, the ZUMA-3 study, in adult relapsed or refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Is brexucabtagene autoleucel the same as KTE-X19?

Yes, brexucabtagene autoleucel is also known as KTE-X19. The two names refer to the same CD19-directed CAR-T cell therapy developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc. (ticker GILD), so trial records and publications using either name describe the same investigational product.
