Why Gilead Sciences (GILD) Deserves Attention in the Cheap Quarterly Dividend Stocks Category

The same day, Kite, a Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) company, released a new analysis showing that second-line Yescarta therapy offers consistent benefits in patients living with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma, even among those ineligible for the previous standard of care, high-dose chemotherapy after an autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

Management reported that the benefits were noted irrespective of eligibility for previous standard of care of high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant for second-line treatment. Professor Roch Houot, Head of Haematology Department, University Hospital of Rennes, France, and coordinator of the ALYCANTE study, stated the following about the development:

“Patients with large B-cell lymphoma who are ineligible for stem cell transplants face limited treatment options and poor outcomes due to age, co-morbidities and other factors. This analysis reinforces that Yescarta should be considered earlier in a patient’s treatment paradigm given its curative potential as a one-time treatment and further establishes CAR T as the new standard of care for second-line treatment of large B-cell lymphoma.”
