Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., after completing its acquisition of Celgene Corp., is attempting to position itself as a developer of best-in-class and first-in-class chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies for lymphoma and multiple myeloma, including the CD19-targeting lisocabtagene maraleucel (JCAR017, liso-cel) and idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel, bb2121) against B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA).
