CAR-T Cell Therapy and Beyond

Developing the future of CAR-T cell therapy today

Novartis is pioneering the way in the class of cell and gene treatment and has developed the first CAR-T cell therapy approved for paediatric and young adult patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). This heritage includes setting the standard in patient and caregiver support, safety and efficacy, access, and partnerships with healthcare institutions, local health authorities, and academic institutions around the world.

Focusing on patients

CAR-T cell therapy is a one-time treatment after which patients may not need another therapy, aiming to deliver long-term value and hope to patients and society.

One of the first personalised treatments in the age of precision medicine, CAR-T cell therapy enhances the strength of a patient’s existing T cells to target B-cell malignancies.

For relapsed or refractory patients, CAR-T cell therapy offers a different treatment option with the hope of long-term efficacy, along with a manageable safety profile.

The patient is at the center of the process for CAR-T cell therapy. The process begins with the patient at autologous T-cell collection and ends with the patient at infusion.

We need to reimagine medicine, because the world and patients need us to.
