The labor-intensive autologous CAR-T manufacturing process has led to treatment costs of roughly $500,000 per treatment.
Better automation and shorter manufacturing times could reduce autologous CAR-T treatment costs.
Limited manufacturing capability in autologous CAR-T therapy contributes to patient waitlists and associated risk.
Autologous CAR-T therapeutic production often takes over 4 weeks.
A systems approach is needed because prior treatments, current health state including immune system and microbiota, initial cell quality, manufacturing failure, bridging and lymphodepletion therapy, and supply chain management all impact CAR-T treatment success.
