ImmunityBio Faces FDA Warning Letter Over Anktiva Promotions in TV Ad and Podcast Episode

ImmunityBio received an FDA warning letter for promotional materials related to Anktiva, including a TV ad and podcast episode.

This marks the first untitled letters from the FDA in 2026.

The FDA cited BeOne and ImmunityBio for issues in these Anktiva promotions.

Separate FDA actions include a refusal-to-file letter in May 2025 for Anktiva's sBLA in BCG-unresponsive NMIBC papillary disease without CIS, which ImmunityBio disputes.
