Breyanzi has been studied in over 400 people across 3 clinical studies. Select a tab to see the clinical studies that evaluated Breyanzi CAR T cell therapy when used as either a second or later line of treatment.
People were randomly put into the following treatment groups:
During the study, people in standard therapy treatment group were able to receive Breyanzi if:
An event was defined as cancer getting worse, failing to respond to cancer therapy, or needing to start a new lymphoma treatment.
At the first follow up (6.2-months median), the time without an event was 10.1 months vs 2.3 months (median) with standard therapy.*
*Median is the middle number in a group of numbers arranged from lowest to highest.
3 out of 4 people (68/92) had a complete response at 17.5 months follow-up (median)
Complete response means no signs of cancer were found in the body. Complete response does not mean the cancer has been cured.
54% of people (33/61) achieved a complete response
Complete response means no signs of cancer were found in the body. Complete response does not mean the cancer has been cured.
26% of people (16/61) achieved a partial response
Partial response means the amount of cancer had been reduced.
within 1 month with one-time* Breyanzi
In the clinical study, complete response, or remission, was seen within 1 month (median) after infusion. For some people, this ranged from 0.8 months to 6.9 months.
Remission is a decrease in, or disappearance of, signs and symptoms of cancer.
*The treatment process includes blood collection, CAR T cell creation, administration, and side-effect monitoring.
These are results experienced by people in the Breyanzi clinical trial. Your results may be different.
Side effects are possible and should be managed by your healthcare team.
Across all clinical studies, the most common side effects were:
These are not all the common side effects with Breyanzi. Please see more common side effects below in the Important Safety Information.
Call your healthcare provider or get emergency help right away if you have any of the side effects listed above.
It is important that you tell your healthcare providers that you have received Breyanzi and to show them your Breyanzi Patient Wallet Card. Your healthcare provider may give you other medicines to treat your side effects.
Breyanzi may cause serious side effects that are life-threatening and can lead to death, such as cytokine release syndrome and neurologic toxicity. Your healthcare team is trained to manage the side effects of Breyanzi.
Cytokine release syndrome, or CRS, happens when the immune cells release a large amount of proteins, called cytokines, into the blood. Some symptoms of CRS include fever, chills, fast heart rate, headache, and not enough oxygen in the tissue.
In the clinical studies, 45% of people (68/150) experienced CRS that was mild to severe
Neurologic toxicity is a serious side effect of the nervous system. It can cause brain disease, involuntary shaking, difficulty speaking, headache, dizziness, and can make it hard to think clearly.
In the clinical studies, 27% of people (41/150) experienced neurologic toxicity that was mild to severe
If you have a fever (100.4ºF/38ºC or higher) or show any other signs or symptoms of CRS or neurologic toxicity, immediately call your healthcare provider, or go to the emergency room as instructed by your healthcare team.
54% of people (104/192) achieved a complete response
Complete response means no signs of cancer were found in the body. Complete response does not mean the cancer has been cured.
19% of people (37/192) achieved a partial response
Partial response means the amount of cancer had been reduced.
Overall survival was not a key measurement in this study, and the impact of treatment on survival has not been established. These data included outcomes from 257 people who completed the original study and joined a follow-up study.
These are the results experienced by people in the Breyanzi clinical study. Your results may be different.

In the clinical study, 46% of people (122/268) experienced CRS toxicity that was mild to life-threatening or fatal
Neurologic toxicity is a serious side effect of the nervous system. It may cause a condition that could change how the brain works or its structure, as well as shaking that you cannot control, difficulty speaking, headache, dizziness, and can also make it harder to think clearly. These are not all of the signs and symptoms. Call your healthcare team immediately if you notice any changes.
In the clinical study, 35% of people (96/268) experienced neurologic toxicity that was mild to life-threatening or fatal
If you have a fever (100.4ºF/38ºC or higher) or show any other signs or symptoms of CRS or neurologic toxicity, immediately call your healthcare provider, or go to the emergency room as instructed by your healthcare team.
