Certara pharmacometricians employed nonlinear mixed-effects modeling to develop a population cellular kinetic model for liso-cel. Covariates for the analysis included baseline intrinsic factors such as age, baseline disease characteristics, and liso-cel and coadministration factor.

Liso-cel cellular kinetics were well described by our model that featured lag, exponential growth, and biexponential decay phases. The magnitude of effect on liso-cel expansion metrics demonstrated that the covariate associations were smaller than the residual between-subject variability in the population. The covariates tested were not considered to have a meaningful impact on liso-cel kinetics. Thus, dose adjustments are not needed for specific populations.

CAR T-cell therapy is a form of immunotherapy that alters a patient’s T cells. A patient’s T cells are taken from their body, and a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is added to the cells in a lab. The engineered CAR T cells are then reintroduced into the patient to fight their cancer.
