Process and administration

AUCATZYL is manufactured in Stevenage, UK, at an innovative state-of-the-art facility1

In the FELIX trial, patients' T-cells were engineered with precision1

Manufacturing section showing two data panels over a laboratory image. The panels state 95% manufacturing success in the FELIX trial, based on 122 out of 127 cases, and a 21-day vein-to-release time, with a target of around 16 days.

*7/153 enrolled patients did not receive AUCATZYL infusion due to manufacturing-related issues.2
In the pivotal trial, the median time from leukapheresis to product release was 21 days (range, 18 to 50).2

AUCATZYL is administered based on your patients’ tumour volume1

Because higher disease burden increases the risk of CRS and ICANS, AUCATZYL is dosed according to tumour volume:1,3

  • ​​​​Patients with BM blast count ≤20% start with a higher first dose

  • Patients with BM blast count >20% start with a lower first dose

Customised split dosing on Days 1 & 10 (±2 days)1

AUCATZYL is for autologous and IV use only.

Split-dosing chart showing how bone marrow blast count determines CAR T-cell dosing. If BM blasts are 20% or less, 100 x 10^6 CAR T-cells are given on Day 1, followed by 10 x 10^6 and 300 x 10^6 CAR T-cells on Day 10, if CRS grade is 1 or less and there is no ICANS, for a total recommended dose of 410 x 10^6 CD19 CAR T-cells. If BM blasts are above 20%, 10 x 10^6 CAR T-cells are given on Day 1, followed by 400 x 10^6 CAR T-cells on Day 10, if CRS grade is 1 or less and there is no ICANS, for the same total recommended dose.

Treatment centres must have 24-hour immediate access to tocilizumab and emergency equipment must be available prior to infusion.

 

Refer to the UK Public Assessment Report on the MHRA website for details of leukapheresis, lymphodepletion and bridging therapies used in the clinical 
trials for AUCATZYL.

*Administer the lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen before infusion of AUCATZYL: FLU 30 mg/m2/day IV and CY 500 mg/m2/day IV. FLU and CY will be given together for 2 days and FLU alone on the third and fourth day (total dose: FLU 120 mg/m2; CY 1000 mg/m2).1,2
†If patient has Grade 2 CRS, consider postponing AUCATZYL infusion up to Day 21 to allow for CRS to resolve to Grade ≤1. If patient has Grade 1 ICANS, consider postponing AUCATZYL infusion up to Day 21 to allow for the ICANS to completely resolve.1
‡The second dose can be avoided or delayed if there are signs of severe immune toxicity.1

AUCATZYL treatment schedule1

Treatment schedule chart showing pre-infusion, infusion and post-infusion periods. The pre-infusion period runs from Day -13 to Day -1. During the infusion period, Dose 1 is given on Day 1, followed by daily monitoring for signs and symptoms of CRS, ICANS and other toxicities from Day 1 to Day 14. Dose 2 is scheduled for Day 10, with a 2-day window before or after. Post-infusion monitoring continues from Day 15 to Day 28, with monitoring for at least 4 weeks after the first dose at the physician's discretion.

This specific lymphodepleting regimen (chosen drugs and days dosed) was administered in the FELIX trial. Healthcare professionals may select a preferred alternative lymphodepletion regimen in actual practice.

Treatment centres must have 24-hour immediate access to tocilizumab and emergency equipment must be available prior to infusion.
