Tabelecleucel (tab-cel®)

First-in-class allogeneic T-cell therapy.

With European Commission marketing authorization, Atara is the first company to ever receive approval for an allogeneic T-cell immunotherapy.* This landmark milestone opens the door for further allogeneic approaches in oncology, autoimmune conditions, and beyond.

*Tab-cel® is only approved in the European Union

  • An innovative approach for at-risk transplant patients.

    Tabelecleucel (tab-cel®) is being developed for relapsed or refractory EBV-positive post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD), an ultra-rare and aggressive hematologic cancer. EBV+ PTLD patients who fail initial therapy face a poor prognosis and dismal median survival of only weeks to a few months. Tab-cel® is an allogeneic, EBV-specific T-cell immunotherapy which targets EBV-infected cells.

  • What is post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease?

  • EBV-positive post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (EBV+ PTLD) is a rare, acute, and potentially deadly hematologic malignancy that occurs after transplantation when a patient's T-cell activity is compromised by immunosuppression. It can impact patients who have undergone solid-organ transplant (SOT) or an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).

Other indications under investigation

  • We’re also conducting a Phase 2 multi-cohort study including EBV+ PTLD with central nervous system involvement, EBV+ acquired & primary immunodeficiency lymphoproliferative diseases (AID-LPD and PID-LPD), EBV+ leiomyosarcoma, EBV+ PTLD where standard first line therapy is not appropriate, and other EBV-associated diseases (NCT04554914, 205 study).
