Fosun Kite: Fosun Kite Approved to Launch CAR-T as Second Line Therapy for B-Cell Lymphoma

Shanghai Fosun Kite Biotechnology was approved to launch Yikaida®, its CAR-T product, as a second-line therapy in China for adult large B-cell lymphoma (r/r LBCL). Patients must have failed first-line immunochemotherapy or relapsed within 12 months. Previously, Yikaida, the first CAR-T product available in China as a second-line rr/LBCL therapy, was approved as a third-line treatment. In 2017, Fosun formed a JV with LA's Kite Pharma to develop Kite's CAR-T immuno-oncology drug for China in a $95 million agreement that included $20 million for China development costs.
