WHAT BREYANZI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT BREYANZI IS
Breyanzi contains the active substance lisocabtagene maraleucel, a
type of treatment called
‘genetically modified cell therapy’.
Breyanzi is made from your own white blood cells.This involves taking
some of your blood and
separating out the white blood cells and sending the white blood cells
to a laboratory so that they can
be modified to make Breyanzi.
WHAT BREYANZI IS USED FOR
Breyanzi is used to treat adults with a type of blood cancer called
lymphoma which affects your lymph
tissue and causes white blood cells to grow out of control. Breyanzi
is used for:
•
diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
•
high-grade B-cell lymphoma
•
primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma
•
follicu

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
2.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Breyanzi (lisocabtagene maraleucel) is a CD19-directed genetically
modified autologous cell-based
product consisting of purified CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, in a defined
composition, that have been
separately transduced
_ex vivo_
using a replication incompetent lentiviral vector expressing an anti-
CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising a single chain
variable fragment (scFv) binding
domain derived from a murine CD19-specific monoclonal antibody (mAb;
FMC63) and a portion of
the 4-1BB co-stimulatory endodomain and CD3 zeta (ζ) chain signalling
domains and a nonfunctional
truncated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFRt).
2.2

Breyanzi contains CAR-positive viable T cells, consisting of a defined
composition of CD8+ and
CD4+ cell components:
