Lifileucel injection is used to treat melanoma (skin cancer) that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. This medicine is given to patients who have received other cancer treatments (eg, PD-1 blocking medicine) that have not worked. It is used if the melanoma cells have the BRAF mutations and a BRAF inhibitor medicine with or without a MEK inhibitor medicine that has also stopped working.
Lifileucel injection is an antineoplastic (cancer) medicine that is made from your own cancer cells, which have been modified to recognize and attack your cancer cells. Before you begin treatment, talk to your doctor about the benefits of this medicine as well as the possible risks of receiving it.
This medicine is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of your doctor.
