Give patients THE ONE CAR T proven in R/R LBCL for both transplant-eligible and transplant-ineligible patients1
Patient journey1
Follow-up1
After at least 2 weeks of monitoring in close proximity to a healthcare facility, the patient may return to their primary oncologist for long-term monitoring and appointments
Continue to monitor for signs and symptoms of CRS and NT
Patients should avoid driving for at least 2 weeks after their Breyanzi® infusion
Continue to monitor complete blood count and watch for signs and symptoms of serious infections, febrile neutropenia, prolonged cytopenias, B-cell aplasia, hypogammaglobulinemia, and secondary malignancies
Monitor lifelong for secondary malignancies. In the event that a secondary malignancy occurs, including T-cell malignancies, contact Bristol Myers Squibb at 1-888-805-4555 for reporting and instructions
Patients may be enrolled in the Breyanzi registry, which will monitor safety for up to 15 years. Patients should also be monitored lifelong for potential secondary malignancies
Breyanzi is currently offered at treatment centers across the United States, and more may continue to be added
Breyanzi manufacturing1
Leukapheresis
T cells are collected via leukapheresis at a qualified center.
Manufacturing
Cells are sent to a manufacturing site for purification, engineering, and expansion, delivering a defined ratio of CAR-positive viable T cells (consisting of 1:1 CD8 and CD4 components). Ensure that patients understand the risk (11%) of manufacturing failure. Rates of manufacturing failure in the commercial setting differ from rates in the clinical trial.
Infusion
Breyanzi is delivered as separate vials of CD8-positive and CD4-positive cells. Lymphodepletion chemotherapy (fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day and cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2/day concurrently for 3 days) should be completed 2 to 7 days before administration of Breyanzi.
A single dose of Breyanzi contains 90 to 110 × 106 CAR-positive viable T cells (consisting of 1:1 CAR-positive viable T cells of the CD8 and CD4 components). The manufacturing target dose is 100 × 106 CAR-positive viable T cells.
Physician is notified of estimated Breyanzi availability date, which is subject to change. Confirm availability before starting lymphodepletion.
Short-term monitoring
Monitor patients daily at a healthcare facility during the first week following infusion for signs and symptoms of CRS and neurologic toxicities.
Instruct patients to remain within proximity of a healthcare facility for at least 2 weeks following infusion.
CAR, chimeric antigen receptor; CRS, cytokine release syndrome; LBCL, large B-cell lymphoma; MOA, mechanism of action; NT, neurologic toxicity; R/R, relapsed or refractory.
Breyanzi is designed for gradual expansion* and persistence1
Smart engineering: Breyanzi is a CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy
The 4-1BB co-stimulatory domain signaling enhances the expansion and persistence of Breyanzi1
Defined and purified† product–defined ratio reduces variability of the CD8 and CD4 component dose1
Breyanzi is administered as a one-time infusion1‡
Breyanzi was present in the peripheral blood for at least 2 years1
Breyanzi binds to CD19 expressed on the cell surface of tumor and normal B cells, inducing activation of CAR T cells and killing target cells.1
The binding region of the CAR is composed of a CD19-directed, antibody-derived, single-chain variable fragment1
- Extracellular receptor-binding region
- IgG4 hinge region
- CD28 transmembrane domain
- The receptor is fused to intracellular signaling domains, including a 4-1BB co-stimulatory domain to enhance the expansion and persistence
- CD3 zeta activation domain
*The median time of maximal expansion in peripheral blood occurred 10-12 days after infusion.1
†The purified CD8-positive and CD4-positive T cells are separately activated and transduced with the replication-incompetent lentiviral vector containing the anti-CD19 CAR transgene.1
‡Treatment process includes leukapheresis, manufacturing, administration, and adverse event monitoring. A single dose of Breyanzi is 90 to 110 x 106 CAR-positive viable T cells for LBCL after 1 line of therapy, and 50 to 110 x 106 for LBCL after 2 or more lines of therapy (consisting of 1:1 CAR-positive viable T cells of the CD8 and CD4 components), with each component supplied separately in 1 to 4 single-dose vials.1
CAR, chimeric antigen receptor; LBCL, large B-cell lymphoma; R/R, relapsed or refractory.
