The single most decisive commercial signal: patients and caregivers frame Carvykti as a "swing for the fences" choice, citing 5-year MRD-negative stories as the primary pull despite a fear of neurologic and CRS toxicities that makes specialist-center trust the pivotal access gate.
- Patients consistently choose Carvykti over Abecma by consciously trading a heavier side-effect burden for superior and potentially curative efficacy, making the risk-benefit narrative central to brand positioning.
- Cost and logistics (travel to certified centers, multi-week manufacturing wait, housing near treatment sites) create real abandonment risk at the pre-infusion stage before patients ever receive the cell product.
- Neurologic toxicities (ICANS, movement changes, cognitive fog) and delayed IEC-enterocolitis are the side effects patients dwell on most, yet the FDA label's boxed warning on CRS is what oncologists lead with.
- Expanding into second-line and earlier-line use is the dominant emerging signal, with patients and clinical data converging around the idea that earlier immune fitness produces deeper, longer remissions.
