Abstract

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are considered a potentially disruptive cancer therapy, showing highly promising results. Their recent success and regulatory approval (both in the USA and Europe) are likely to generate a rapidly increasing demand and a need for the design of robust and scalable manufacturing and distribution models that will ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of the therapy to the patient. However, there are challenging tasks as these therapies are accompanied by a series of constraints and particularities that need to be taken into consideration in the decision-making process. Here, we present an overview of the current state of the art in the CAR T cell market and present novel concepts that can debottleneck key elements of the current supply chain model and, we believe, help this technology achieve its long-term potential.
