Point-Of-Care, Decentralized CAR-T Manufacturing

In this segment, our panelists deliberate on the feasibility of decentralized, point-of-care (POC) CAR-T manufacturing. They highlight the common concerns and challenges associated with POC manufacturing — especially as it relates to maintaining product quality across different sites. Our experts also highlight concerns with the decentralized model’s scalability. While future innovations (e.g., automation) may address some of these concerns, the panelists concede: when it comes to adopting POC manufacturing, the field has to walk before it can run.
