Moderator
Patrick Hanley, PhD, Children's National Hospital, USA
Panelists
Kevin Curran, MD, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, USA
Allyson Flower, MD, New York Medical College, USA
Michael Keller, MD, Children's National, USA
With the advent of two (hopefully) soon-to-be approved antiviral T cell products, the emergence of Letermovir, and (in some cases) a move away from T cell depletion…where does that leave the field? Some individuals are working on point of care donor-derived virus-specific T cells and some have just finished nationwide multi-center clinical trials for off-the-shelf VSTs, thus a discussion of the pros and cons of these approaches and whether there is still a need today and in the future.
