Abstract
Ex vivo genetically-modified cellular immunotherapies, such as chimeric antigen receptor T-(CAR-T) cell therapies, have generated significant clinical and commercial outcomes due to their unparalleled response rates against relapsed and refractory blood cancers. However, the development and manufacture of these novel therapies face a number of translational bottlenecks that must be addressed to ensure long-term commercial viability. This work aimed to develop a more robust and efficient expansion process for the production of clinically relevant CAR-T cells using quality by design (QbD) principles. This thesis demonstrates how systematic process development and implementation of automation with effective process monitoring and control capability can significantly improve CAR-T production to address current manufacturing limitations.
