WHY is this medicine prescribed?

Marnetegragene autotemcel injection is used to treat leukocyte adhesion deficiency-I (LAD-I; an inherited condition in which the body makes immune cells that cannot fight infections). Marnetegragene autotemcel is in a class of medications called autologous cellular immunotherapy, a type of medication prepared using cells from the patient's own blood. It works by helping your body make certain immune cells to help fight infections.

HOW should this medicine be used?

Marnetegragene autotemcel comes as a suspension (liquid) to be injected intravenously (into a vein) by a doctor or nurse in a hospital. Marnetegragene autotemcel injection is given as a one-time dose, which is contained in 1 or 2 infusion bags. Each infusion bag is usually given over no more than 10 minutes. Before you receive your marnetegragene autotemcel dose, your doctor or nurse will administer other chemotherapy medications to prepare your body for marnetegragene autotemcel.

Before your dose of marnetegragene autotemcel injection is to be given, a sample of your blood stem cells will be taken at a hospital or treatment center using a process called mobilization and apheresis (a process that removes blood stem cells from the body). This process usually takes about 1 week and may need to be repeated. The sample will be sent to the manufacturer to prepare a dose of marnetegragene autotemcel injection. It will take about 4-5 months from the time that your blood stem cells are collected before they are ready to be given to you. Because this medication is made from your own cells, it must be given only to you.

You will have to stay in the hospital after you receive your marnetegragene autotemcel dose to monitor you for any side effects. Talk to your doctor about how to prepare for mobilization and apheresis and what to expect during and after the procedure.

Ask your pharmacist or doctor for a copy of the manufacturer's information for the patient.
