Legend Biotech Provides Update on U.S. FDA and EMA Applications for Expanded Use of CARVYKTI® (ciltacabtagene autoleucel) in Earlier Lines of Treatment for Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma; FDA Label Update for
CAR-T Cell Immunotherapies
On January 23, 2024, Legend Biotech announced that applications seeking to expand the use of CARVYKTI® in earlier lines of treatment for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma supported by results from the Phase 3
CARTITUDE-4 study have been referred to health authority advisory committees, specifically:
|
•
|
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) intends to meet to review data supporting the supplemental Biologics License Application for CARVYKTI® (ciltacabtagene
autoleucel; cilta-cel) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior line of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent.
The date of the ODAC meeting will be announced in the Federal Register.
|
|
•
|
The European Medicines Agency Committee for Advanced Therapies (CAT) will convene a Scientific Advisory Group Oncology (SAG-O) meeting to review data supporting the submission of a Type II variation
application seeking expanded use of CARVYKTI® in the treatment of patients with relapsed and lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma who received one to three prior lines of therapy. The date of the SAG-O meeting has not yet been
announced by the CAT.

Separately, U.S. FDA Communicates Labeling Updates for Approved CAR-T Cell Immunotherapies, Including CARVYKTI®
On November 28, 2023, the U.S. FDA announced that it was investigating a serious safety signal of T-cell malignancies identified in patients who received treatment with BCMA-directed or CD19-directed
autologous CAR-T cell immunotherapies. The FDA considered this information to be ‘new safety information’ and that it is applicable to all currently approved BCMA-directed and CD19-directed genetically modified autologous CAR-T cell
immunotherapies, including CARVYKTI®.
On January 19, 2024, the FDA announced that it has determined that new safety information should be included in the labeling of all BCMA- and CD19-directed genetically modified autologous CAR-T cell immunotherapies, including CARVYKTI®.
This report on Form 6-K is hereby incorporated by reference in the registration statements of Legend Biotech on Form F-3 (Nos. 333-272222, 333-257609 and 333-257625) and Form S-8 (No. 333-239478).
