Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Oxford, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - December 23, 2022) - Adaptimmune Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ: ADAP), a leader in cell therapy to treat cancer, today reports that it has initiated the submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking marketing approval for afami-cel for use as a single-dose regimen for the treatment of advanced synovial sarcoma.
"Adaptimmune's goal is to design and deliver cell therapies to transform the lives of people with cancer," said Dennis Williams, PharmD, Senior VP of Late-Stage Development.
