History Section Update

Suggest replacement of current final sentence which lacks citation with more accurate updated information.
Current: "The drug has been licensed to treat adults with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), but as of September 2018 it had not been decided whether the NHS would use it.[citation needed]"
Replacement: "In March 2019 NICE issued guidance approving Kymriah for treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in adults after 2 or more systemic therapies.[1] DonInUtah (talk) 03:09, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I put this live as it replaces an uncited/outdated sentence with more accurate information from the UK government, and there was no commentary on the change. DonInUtah (talk) 19:10, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
