NMPA Approves FUCASO, the First Fully-human BCMA CAR-T Therapy, for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma in China
Dr. Hui Zhou, Senior Vice President of Innovent Biologics, stated, “Multiple myeloma is a common hematology malignant disease with high incidence rate, and relapse and refractory are almost inevitable after current treatments. There’s an urgent unmet need of a treatment with well-tolerated and long persistence for RRMM patients in China. FUCASO®, as an innovative fully-human BCMA-directed T cell therapy, has demonstrated robust and long-lasting efficacy and outstanding safety in long-term follow-up data from the registrational clinical study, which underscores its potential to be a pioneering treatment option for patients with RRMM. We are very pleased with the approval of FUCASO® and hope it could benefit RRMM patients as the first approved BCMA CAR-T therapy in China.”
