- CRS, including fatal or life-threatening reactions, occurred following treatment with TECARTUS. CRS occurred in 91% (75/82) of patients with MCL, including ≥Grade 3 CRS in 18% of patients1
- Neurologic toxicities (including ICANS) that were fatal or life-threatening occurred following treatment with TECARTUS. Neurologic events occurred in 81% (66/82) of patients with MCL, including ≥Grade 3 in 37% of patients1
There were no Grade 5 neurologic events and there was one Grade 5 CRS in ZUMA-21,2
CRS=cytokine release syndrome; ICANS=immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome; MCL=mantle cell lymphoma.

Prolonged cytopenias have occurred following treatment with TECARTUS1
- Patients may exhibit cytopenias for several weeks following lymphodepleting chemotherapy and TECARTUS infusion
- At Day 30, 55% of patients had unresolved Grade 3 or higher cytopenias
- 38% with thrombocytopenia
- 37% with neutropenia
- 17% with anemia
No new safety signals were seen at a median potential follow-up of 35.6 months2
