Posted in :: 2019 Volume 6 :: Thursday, June 13th, 2019

The American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) has partnered with FACT and the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) to bring you the two-part webinar series, “Centers’ Experience with Implementing Commercial CAR T-cell Products.”

The first webinar will be on Thursday, July 25, 2019 at 11:00 am ET.  Part one includes information from two centers regarding their journey to successful implementation of commercialized CAR T-cell products. Clinicians will address the challenges faced during the site on-boarding process, where they are in this process, commonly faced impediments to timely delivery of therapy to patients, and suggestions for centers initiating implementation of commercial CAR T-cell products. Topics in this webinar will include required training, maintenance of chain of custody, and mechanisms for reporting outcomes data. FACT accreditation will also be covered.

Part two will take place in September of 2019 and will include the perspective of a hospital administrator in regard to the following:

  • Agreements with Manufacturers
