Important Safety Information
This is not a complete list of all possible side effects. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unexpected symptoms. For serious or life-threatening side effects, seek emergency medical attention immediately.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Study 1 (Relapsed/Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma) Cohort 1 and 2 The safety of TECARTUS in patients with relapsed/refractory Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) was evaluated in a single-arm study (Study 1;
Cohorts 1 and 2) in which a total of 82 patients received a single dose of TECARTUS (2 × 10 6 or 0.5 × 10 6 anti-CD19 CAR T cells/kg) [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] .
The most common serious adverse reactions (> 2%) were encephalopathy, fever, infection with pathogen unspecified, CRS, hypoxia, aphasia, renal insufficiency, pleural effusion, respiratory failure, bacterial infections, dyspnea, fatigue, arrhythmia, tachycardia, and viral infections.
Table 3 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in at least 10% of patients in Study 1 Cohorts 1 and 2 and Table 4 lists the laboratory abnormalities of Grade 3 or 4 that occurred in at least 10% of patients in Study 1 Cohorts 1 and

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis/Macrophage Activation Syndrome: Administer treatment per institutional standards.
( 5.3 ) Hypersensitivity Reactions: Monitor for hypersensitivity reactions during infusion.
( 5.4 ) Severe Infections: Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection;
treat appropriately.
( 5.5 ) Prolonged Cytopenias: Patients may exhibit Grade 3 or higher cytopenias for several weeks following TECARTUS infusion.
Like all medications, Tecartus can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
