BREYANZI® MAKES COMPLETE AND
LASTING REMISSION POSSIBLE

Home > How Breyanzi Can Help > Results With Breyanzi > MCL

RECLAIM TOMORROW: ACHIEVE PROLONGED RESULTS WITH A ONE-TIME INFUSION*

Explore the clinical trial results below or view the potential side effects.

COMPLETE REMISSION IS POSSIBLE AFTER 2 OR MORE PRIOR TREATMENTS

Who was in this study and what were the results?

A clinical study evaluated 68 adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) that had come back or stopped responding to treatment after 2 other types of treatment, including a Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor.

85% of people saw their cancer shrink or disappear
This is called overall response, which was seen in 58 out of 68 people. It measures a decrease or disappearance of cancer in the body.
2 in 3 people showed no signs of cancer
This is called complete response, which was seen in 46 out of 68 people. Complete response means there were no signs of cancer in the body, but it does not mean the cancer has been cured. 
The rest of the people who responded (12 out of 68 people) experienced a decrease of cancer in the body. This is called partial response.
SOME PEOPLE EXPERIENCED COMPLETE REMISSION AROUND 1 MONTH

In the clinical study, complete or partial response was seen around 1 month (median) after infusion. This ranged from 0.7 months to 3 months.

Lasting remission is within reach

Responses continued after more than a year
People who responded to treatment with Breyanzi continued to respond after more than a year. This is called duration of response, which was 13.3 months (median; and range from 0.0 to 23.3 months).

*The treatment process includes blood collection, CAR T cell creation, administration, and side-effect monitoring. No maintenance therapy for the lymphoma is needed after Breyanzi as long as you are responding to treatment.

These are the results experienced by people in the Breyanzi clinical studies. Your results may be different.

How will I receive BREYANZI?

BREYANZI is different than other cancer medicines because it is a prescription medicine made from your own white blood cells and given as an intravenous (IV) infusion. These cells are genetically modified to recognize and attack your lymphoma cells.

Waiting for your BREYANZI dose to be prepared:

Blood bag

BREYANZI is made from your own white blood cells, so your blood will be collected by a process called “leukapheresis” (LOO-kuh-feh-REE-sis) or “apheresis.”

Calendar

Your white blood cells will be sent to a manufacturing site and be used to prepare your BREYANZI. It takes about 3-4 weeks from the time your cells are received at the manufacturing site and are available to be shipped back to your healthcare provider, but the time may vary.

Before receiving BREYANZI:

Chemotherapy medicine bag

You will get 3 days of chemotherapy to prepare your body before receiving your BREYANZI treatment. Your BREYANZI treatment will usually happen 2-7 days after receiving chemotherapy.

While receiving BREYANZI:

Hourglass

You will receive BREYANZI as an intravenous (IV) infusion of 2 different cell types. These infusions will be given one after the other. Each infusion may take approximately 15 minutes but time will vary.

After receiving BREYANZI:

Calendar

For 1 week after receiving BREYANZI, you will be monitored daily at the facility where you received your treatment.

For at least 4 weeks after getting BREYANZI, you should plan to stay close (within 2 hours) to the facility where you received your treatment. During this time:

  • Your healthcare provider will check to see that your treatment is working and help you with any side effects that may occur.
  • You may be hospitalized for side effects. Your healthcare provider will discharge you if your side effects are under control, and it is safe for you to leave the hospital.

Long-term monitoring:

Blood collection vial

Your healthcare provider will want to do blood tests to follow your progress. It is important that you have your blood tested.

What if I miss a blood test appointment?

Phone call

Call your healthcare provider as soon as possible to reschedule your appointment.

What should I avoid after receiving BREYANZI?

X mark

Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or do any other activity that could be dangerous if you are not mentally alert, for at least 8 weeks after you get BREYANZI. BREYANZI may affect your ability to be mentally alert in the following ways:

  • temporary memory and coordination problems
  • sleepiness
  • confusion
  • dizziness
  • seizures
X mark

Do not donate blood, organs, tissues, or cells for transplantation

What are the possible or reasonably likely side effects of BREYANZI?

Serious side effects

BREYANZI can increase the risk of serious side effects. A serious side effect is a side effect that may be life threatening and can lead to death. The side effects of BREYANZI include, but are not limited to:

Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurologic toxicity. BREYANZI can increase the risk of CRS and neurologic toxicity, two very common serious side effects which can be fatal or life-threatening. CRS happens when the immune system responds to an infection or a drug more aggressively than it should. Neurologic toxicity is a serious side effect of the nervous system and may cause a condition that could change how the brain works or its structure.

Symptoms to look out for include:

  • trouble breathing
  • fever (100.4°F/38°C or higher)
  • chills/shaking chills
  • confusion
  • severe nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
  • fast or irregular heartbeat
  • dizziness or lightheadedness
  • feeling very tired or weak

Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any symptoms of CRS or neurologic toxicity.

Remember to bring and show your BREYANZI Patient Wallet Card.

  • chills
  • any other signs or symptoms of an infection
Conversation bubbles

Talk to your healthcare team about other signs of infection to look out for.

Phone call

Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any symptoms of an infection.

Low blood cell counts (cytopenia). BREYANZI can lower the amount of one, or more, types of your blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets). Your healthcare provider will test your blood to check for this.

Symptoms to look out for include:

  • fever (100.4°F/38°C or higher)
  • feeling tired
  • bruising
  • bleeding
Phone call

Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any symptoms of low blood cell counts.

Other cancers. BREYANZI may increase your risk of getting cancer, including certain types of blood cancers. You may hear your doctor call these secondary hematological malignancies or T cell malignancies.

Information

Your healthcare provider should monitor you for any signs of other cancers.

BREYANZI may cause a false-positive HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) test result by some commercial tests.
