Access to CAR-T therapy is crucial in countries lacking ATMP infrastructure due to its potential in treatment. Developing domestic CAR-T manufacturing capabilities is essential, requiring a strategic roadmap to build local production and expertise. Collaboration and knowledge sharing are key to accelerating this process, allowing new regions to overcome challenges and establish effective CAR-T production. By fostering partnerships and leveraging expertise, countries can enhance access to CAR-T therapy and provide life-saving treatments to more patients globally.

Session Objectives:
  • Explaining the critical need for CAR-T therapy access in countries without existing ATMP infrastructure.
  • Building a roadmap for domestic CAR-T manufacturing capabilities.
  • The importance of collaboration and knowledge sharing to accelerate the development of CAR-T manufacturing in new regions.
