ExperimentalSingle Arm - Open Label Study Talikabtagene Autoleucel (NexCAR19) CAR-T Cell Therapy | Talikabtagene Autoleucel Talikabtagene Autoleucel is an autologous CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells are collected via leukapheresis, genetically modified to express an anti-CD19 CAR, expanded ex vivo, and infused intravenously after lymphodepleting chemotherapy. |
