If you don't have insurance, talk to your healthcare team about options available to you. There are other organizations that may be able to provide support if you are prescribed YESCARTA.
Who can help me find information on resources and support?
You don't have to figure everything out by yourself. Your treatment team is the best resource for support throughout treatment.
Our knowledgeable team at Kite is also dedicated to helping answer your questions about the treatment process.
Many organizations offer help throughout the process. The lists below are a starting point for finding organizations that may offer assistance programs. This is not an exhaustive list of support programs. You
can ask your treatment team about other support that might be available.
Resources may include referrals to independent third-party nonprofit patient assistance programs. These programs are not operated or controlled by Kite, and Kite does not endorse any program or third-party
organization. Nonprofit patient assistance program eligibility requirements may vary and are established solely by each independent organization. Kite makes no guarantee with respect to reimbursement or copay
assistance for any item or service.
“There are things that you absolutely won't be able to do for yourself. When I needed something, I asked my caregiver, treatment team, friends, and neighbors. Don't be afraid—you'll be surprised how many people want to help.”

Certified treatment centers (also called Authorized Treatment Centers) are independent facilities certified to dispense Kite CAR T therapies. Choice of a certified treatment center is within the sole discretion of the physician and patient. Kite does not endorse any individual treatment sites. Insurance coverage should be considered when reviewing certified treatment center options.
Out-of-pocket costs
There are out-of-pocket costs involved in the CAR T treatment process. ‘Out-of-pocket’ is any cost a patient has that is not covered by a health insurance plan. Examples include deductibles, co-payments for covered services, and costs for services that are not covered.

Your oncologist's name and phone number

YESCARTA® is a prescription medicine used to treat two types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma:
large B-cell lymphoma when your first treatment did not work or your cancer returned within a year of first treatment, OR when at least two kinds of treatment have failed to control your cancer.
follicular lymphoma when at least two kinds of treatment have failed to control your cancer.
YESCARTA is different than other cancer medicines because it is made from your own white blood cells, which have been modified to recognize and attack your lymphoma cells.
Important Safety Information
What is the most important information I should know about YESCARTA?
YESCARTA may cause side effects that are life-threatening and can lead to death. Call or see your healthcare provider or get emergency help right away if you get any of the following:
Fever (100.4°F/38°C or higher)
Difficulty breathing
Chills or shaking chills
Confusion
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Severe nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
Fast or irregular heartbeat
Severe fatigue or weakness
It is important to tell your healthcare provider that you received YESCARTA and to show them your YESCARTA Patient Wallet Card. Your healthcare provider may give you other medicines to treat your side
effects.
Before getting YESCARTA, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical problems, including if you have or have had:
Neurologic problems (such as seizures, stroke, or memory loss)
Lung or breathing problems
Heart problems
Liver problems
Kidney problems
A recent or active infection
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medications you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
How will I receive YESCARTA?
Since YESCARTA is made from your own white blood cells, your blood will be collected by a process called “leukapheresis” (loo-kah-fur-ee-sis), which will concentrate your white blood cells.
Your blood cells will be sent to a manufacturing center to make your YESCARTA.
Before you get YESCARTA, you will get 3 days of chemotherapy to prepare your body.
When your YESCARTA is ready, your healthcare provider will give it to you through a catheter placed into your vein (intravenous infusion). The infusion usually takes less than 30 minutes.
You will be monitored where you received your treatment daily for at least 7 days after the infusion.
You should plan to stay close to a certified healthcare facility for at least 4 weeks after getting YESCARTA. Your healthcare provider will help you with any side effects that may occur.
You may be hospitalized for side effects and your healthcare provider will discharge you if your side effects are under control, and it is safe for you to leave the hospital.
Your healthcare provider will want to do blood tests to follow your progress. It is important that you do have your blood tested. If you miss an appointment, call your healthcare provider as soon
as possible to reschedule.
What should I avoid after receiving YESCARTA?
Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or do other dangerous things for 8 weeks after you get YESCARTA because the treatment can cause sleepiness, confusion, weakness, and temporary memory and
coordination problems.
Do not donate blood, organs, tissues, or cells for transplantation.
What are the possible or reasonably likely side effects of YESCARTA?
The most common side effects of YESCARTA include:
Fever (100.4°F/38°C or higher)
Low white blood cells (can occur with a fever)
Low red blood cells
Low blood pressure (dizziness or lightheadedness, headache, feeling tired, short of breath)
Fast heartbeat
Confusion
Difficulty speaking or slurred speech
Nausea
Diarrhea
YESCARTA may increase your risk of getting cancers including certain types of blood cancers. Your healthcare provider should monitor you for this.
