Biochemistry aside, manufacturing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies is a complicated, costly, and logistically challenging process. Cells first need to be collected from patients and shipped to a central manufacturing facility before being manufactured and then sent back to the patient — a round trip that can take several weeks. Autologous CAR-T manufacturing is also limited by its bespoke nature, as facilities can only produce so many therapies at once. This per-patient manufacturing leads to delays and waitlists, with some patients getting sicker — even dying — before they can be treated.
