CAR-T cell therapy products involve highly complex manufacturing challenges and extensive quality assurance / quality control (QA /QC) processes. On the other hand, patients' pathways are also very delicate to handle for healthcare professionals (HCPs) due to treatment accessibility, patients' clinical conditions and the necessity to constantly anticipate and adjust current treatments depending on logistical, clinical and technical unforeseen events. Ultimately, patients need to receive efficient and safe therapy as soon as possible.

Quality control (QC) tests are done throughout the whole manufacturing process and need:
• To offer the best performance and adaptability to CAR-T cell therapy manufacturers.
• To ensure the healthcare professionals (HCPs) that the product is safe, not contaminated and that the cells are of a good quality. When CAR-T cell therapies are manufactured internally within hospital settings, the challenge is even greater due to the lack of standardization and GMP constraints that are difficult to reach for hospitals.

As a global team, industry together with hospitals and HCPs are continuously making efforts to reduce the time from bench to bedside, so that eligible patients can receive these innovative treatments

Session Objectives:
• Understand and visualize the different steps of QC and the potential impacts on patients’ journey.
• Highlight the importance of a close collaboration between CAR-T cell therapy manufacturers, QA/QC providers and HCPs.
• Explore how to constantly adapt to this changing environment and more specifically to the increasing involvement of the hospital setting in the CAR-T cell therapy manufacturing landscape.
