Abstract
Obecabtagene autoleucel (AUCATZYL®) is a CD19-directed genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy which is being developed by Autolus for the treatment of hematological cancers and systemic lupus erythematosus. In comparison with other chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) therapies, obecabtagene autoleucel has a fast off-rate binder for CD19. Obecabtagene autoleucel received approval following positive results from the FELIX phase I/II trial in adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and it is the first CAR T therapy that does not have mandatory Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategy monitoring requirements. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of obecabtagene autoleucel leading to this first approval for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor ALL.
