The NHS approves UK-developed CAR T-cell therapy for adults with relapsed leukemia, offering high remission rates and fewer side effects.
The NHS in England has approved obe-cel (Aucatzyl), a next-generation CAR T-cell therapy developed by UK-based Autolus, for adults aged 26 and over with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
The treatment, requiring only one lifetime dose in two intravenous infusions 10 days apart at specialist centres, showed 77% remission rates in a trial of 94 patients, with over half remaining cancer-free after three and a half years.
It offers fewer side effects than standard therapies, potentially reducing hospital stays and improving quality of life.
The therapy is expected to benefit more than 150 patients in the next three years and marks a major advancement in blood cancer care, backed by collaboration between UCL, UCLH, government, and industry.
Patients and health officials have praised it as a breakthrough in medical innovation.
