Legend Biotech Corporation (LEGN) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Somerset, New Jersey, that discovers, develops, manufactures, and commercializes novel cell therapies for oncology and other diseases across the United States, China, and Europe. Its lead product candidate is ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel), a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy designed to treat multiple myeloma (MM).
The companys pipeline extends beyond cilta-cel to include earlier-stage autologous CAR-T candidates targeting cancers such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia, gastric, esophageal, pancreatic, colorectal, and lung cancers, as well as allogeneic gamma delta CAR-T and CAR-NK product candidates directed at B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) for MM, which are currently in investigator-initiated Phase 1 trials in China. Legend Biotech operates within a capital-intensive business model typical of the biotechnology sector, relying heavily on R&D investment, multi-year clinical development timelines, and regulatory approvals to bring therapies to market.
Key partnerships include a collaboration and license agreement with Janssen Biotech for the development and commercialization of cilta-cel, and a license agreement with Novartis Pharma AG for CAR-T cell therapies targeting delta-like ligand protein 3 (DLL3). The company went public on NASDAQ in June 2020 and is classified in the Health Care sector under the Biotechnology sub-industry.
