Brexucabtagene Autoleucel (Tecartus)

Abstract

CADTH reimbursement reviews are comprehensive assessments of the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, as well as patient and clinician perspectives, of a drug or drug class. The assessments inform non-binding recommendations that help guide the reimbursement decisions of Canada's federal, provincial, and territorial governments, with the exception of Quebec. This review assesses Brexucabtagene autoleucel (Tecartus) cell suspension in a patient-specific single infusion bag for IV use at a target dose of 2 × 106 chimeric antigen receptor T cells per kilogram Tecartus is a CD19-directed genetically modified autologous T-cell immunotherapy indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) after 2 or more lines of systemic therapy including a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor.
