Overview

Breyanzi is a medicine used to treat adults with different types of cancer of white blood cells: 

  • diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); 
  • high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL); 
  • primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL); 
  • follicular lymphoma grade 3B (FL3B).

Breyanzi can be used in patients whose cancer came back (relapsed) or did not respond (refractory) after an initial treatment with chemoimmunotherapy (a combination of systemic therapy to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells and immunotherapy to stimulate or restore the immune system’s ability to fight the cancer). 

In patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL, PMBCL or FL3B, it can also be used after two or more previous treatments with systemic therapy (treatment given by mouth or injection). 

Breyanzi is a type of advanced therapy medicine called a ‘gene therapy product’. This is a type of medicine that works by delivering genes into the body. 

Breyanzi contains lisocabtagene maraleucel, which is a combination of two types of genetically modified white blood cells.
