etuvetidigene autotemcel · WAS (LVV, ex vivo HSC)
Check my plan vs. these
First-in-human starting dose
Not stated in public reviews
NOAEL / key findings
No NOAEL; no increased mortality, tumorigenicity or toxicity related to transduced HSPCs; lymphomas were of host origin
“results do not reveal any increased mortality, tumorigenicity, or other forms of toxicity related to the transduction of mouse SV129 WKO Lin- HSPCs with w1.6W LVV.”
