Nearly half of lymphoma patients treated with Gilead Sciences Inc's Yescarta were alive at least three years after a one-time infusion of the CAR-T cell therapy, according to data presented on Saturday. Out of 101 patients teated with Yescarta for an aggressive blood cancer known as refractory large B-cell lymphoma in the study, 47 were still alive at least three years later, the data presented at the American Society of Hematology meeting in Orlando showed. "We are delivering towards our goal of potentially life-saving therapy for many patients who previously faced limited treatment options," Christi Shaw, chief executive of Gilead's Kite unit, said in a statement.
