Seamless end-to-end logistical coordination in CAR T-cell therapies: on time, tracked and secure

October 19, 2023

The chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell journey includes three distinct phases: collecting the patient's white blood cells through apheresis, modifying the patient's T-cells to manufacture the CAR T-cells, and, finally, infusing the new fighter T-cells into the patient. Connecting these three phases for a timely process that optimizes the patient experience requires a well-coordinated logistical system. As the cells are transported from the trial site to the manufacturer and back to the patient, reliable cellular orchestration is an essential part of the journey. Behind the scenes, logistics, operations and systems for CAR T therapies must ensure that patient sample quality is maintained from vein to vein.
