Ronde-cel is currently being evaluated for the treatment of R/R LBCL across two pivotal clinical trials. In the 3L+ setting, the ongoing single-arm PiNACLE trial is expected to report updated data in the second half of 2026 and pivotal data by mid-2027, setting up a subsequent Biologics License Application (BLA) submission in 2027. In the 2L setting, the Phase 3 randomized PiNACLE-H2H trial is evaluating ronde-cel against investigator’s choice of axicabtagene ciloleucel or lisocabtagene maraleucel.
The posters will be available through the Science section of the Company’s website at www.lyell.com after the presentations.
