Drug introduction

Tisagenlecleucel (Tisagenlecleucel) is a CAR-T cell therapy used to treat a specific type of B-cell lymphoma. This treatment works by extracting a patient's immune cells, modifying them to attack cancer cells, and then reinjecting them into the patient's body. This helps strengthen the patient's immune system to fight cancer.

Tisagenlecleucel has been shown to have significant efficacy in some patients with B-cell lymphomas, including DLBCL and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The treatment process may be accompanied by some serious side effects, such as cell activation syndrome and neurotoxicity. Therefore, patients require close monitoring and management while receiving this treatment.
