What is Lisocabtagene?
Lisocabtagene is a type of gene therapy called CAR-T cell therapy, where a patient's own immune cells are genetically modified in a lab to recognize and attack cancer cells. It is specifically designed to treat certain types of B-cell blood cancers that have come back or stopped responding to other treatments. This therapy works by reprogramming T cells — a type of white blood cell — to seek out and destroy cancer cells that carry a protein called CD19.
