Novel manufacturing technologies could significantly shrink the process timeline or enable an off-the-shelf, allogeneic approach (which would broaden the source of cells beyond the patient).
CAR T-cell-based therapies have dramatically changed the standard of care and prospects of patients who suffer from a variety of blood cancers. The next wave of innovation in this space could improve upon the complicated logistical challenges of existing autologous approaches (which use cells from the patient). Novel manufacturing technologies could significantly shrink the process timeline or enable an off-the-shelf, allogeneic approach (which would broaden the source of cells beyond the patient).
