A broad range of unmet needs remains in the immuno-oncology space

Pharmaceutical Technology

IO agents include the classes of immune checkpoint modulators, cell therapies, bispecific antibodies, oncolytic viruses, therapeutic vaccines, and cytokines. All currently approved CAR-Ts are autologous, with the patient’s T-cells being genetically engineered to target antigens expressed by the cancerous cells.

Developing point-of-care CAR T manufacturing

European Pharmaceutical Review

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are the first example of a “living drug”. 1 Following in vitro production from T cells collected from a patient’s leukapheresis procedure, the CAR T cells are infused back into the patient’s blood, where they proliferate and expand. This is variable and to some extent unpredictable.
