Bristol Myers To Build First Cell Therapy Factory In Europe

  • Bristol-Myers Squibb Co BMY continues to scale its CAR-T operations with the latest move to open its first cell manufacturing site in Europe and fifth worldwide.
  • BMY is set to build a new cell therapy site in Leiden, the Netherlands. Financial terms were not disclosed.
  • The site design planning and development are underway, with construction expected to kick off later this year.
  • The company's swift cell therapy scale-up follows the FDA green lights for its closely-watched CAR-T therapies Breyanzi and Abecma.
  • Abecma (idecabtagene vicleucel; ide-cel), approved in March, is a BCMA-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell immunotherapy to treat relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
  • Breyanzi (lisocabtagene maraleucel; liso-cel) was approved in February. It is a CD19-directed CAR-T cell therapy for relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.
  • None of these treatments are approved in Europe.
  • Price Action: BMY shares are down 0.09% at $66.26 in premarket on the last check Thursday.
