In patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma
Deep, durable, and rapid responses were demonstrated in ZUMA-21
Primary analysis1
Objective response rate
Nearly all patients achieved a response (n=52/60) and 62% of patients achieved CR with TECARTUS at a median study follow-up of 12.3 months1,2

Pinch to zoom
Responses were rapid—the median time to initial response was 1 month (range: 0.8-3.1 months)1
- Median time to complete response was 3 months (range: 1.0-9.3 months)3
Patients experienced deep responses—62% of patients achieved a CR with TECARTUS1

The ZUMA-2 24-month analysis has the longest study follow-up of any study of CAR T-cell therapy in R/R MCL7,8
- Median potential follow-up time was nearly 3 years (35.6 months)4
- Minimum follow-up in this analysis was 25.9 months; maximum was 56.3 months4
*Among all responders. DOR is measured from the date of first objective response to the date of progression or death.1
CAR=chimeric antigen receptor; CI=confidence interval; CR=complete response; DOR=duration of response; MCL=mantle cell lymphoma; ORR=objective response rate; PR=partial response; R/R=relapsed or refractory.

Duration of response
With TECARTUS, median duration of response was 36.5 months at a median potential follow-up of nearly 3 years (35.6 months)2,3
- DOR was a secondary endpoint of the ZUMA-2 phase 2, single-arm, open-label study
- DOR data below are descriptive and should be carefully interpreted in light of the single-arm design. DOR data from the 24-month analysis are not included in the USPI
- 24-month follow-up analysis was conducted after all 68 patients treated with TECARTUS in the ZUMA-2 study had the opportunity to be followed for at least 24 months or until death or withdrawal from the study. The Kaplan-Meier estimate for the updated analysis mDOR was for the median potential follow-up of 35.6 months for patients with an objective response (n=52)1,2,4,5

- Primary analysis: 62% of all patients (n=32/52) who responded and 81% of patients (n=30/37) with a CR remained in remission at the time of primary data cutoff (July 24, 2019)2,6
- mDOR was not reached at a median study follow-up of 12.3 months
44% of patients (n=23/52) remained in remission after at least 24 months of follow-up3
