The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approve Novartis’ CAR-T therapy Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel, formerly CTL019).
The blood cancer treatment gained FDA approval in August 2017 having initially been developed by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania. Following a recommendation from the CHMP, the CAR-T cell therapy will now be reviewed by the EMA for approval in the European Union.
