To identify a sufficient number of donors who meet study eligibility, health authority and medical suitability requirements, a large donor pool is required even for the most common HLA genotypes. Choose a partner whose registry size and diversity are built to scale with you. Discover how accessing the most diverse registry of potential donors in…
A high-performing collection center network is essential to providing and delivering quality starting material for emerging cell and gene therapies. Learn about effective practices for building and maintaining collection networks in our on-demand webinar, Critical Components for Developing & Managing Expansive, High-Performing Collection Networks. Amy Hines, BSN, RN, director, Collection Network Management, Be The Match BioTherapies®,…
Off-the-shelf cord blood units (CBUs) are a rich source of cells for use in the development of allogeneic cell and gene therapies. However, CBUs with the characteristics you need may be spread across multiple cord blood banks. Understanding which cord blood banks have the CBUs that meet your requirements is a challenge. And qualifying and…
On-demand webinar offers actionable insights as you develop your protocols. Many crucial considerations impact a cell and gene therapy developer’s apheresis center selection strategy and ability to efficiently scale processes. When collection processes or protocols differ from those in place at a center, there are likely implications for training, forms and standard operating procedures. This…
Cell therapy clinical trials—including those for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT)—come with unique challenges and complexity that impact the clinical trial sponsor, investigators, clinical trial sites, physicians, and patients and their caregivers. We offer comprehensive clinical trial services for academic and industry investigators and sponsors, as well as patients, because we know saving more lives through…
The ONE Forum 2021: On-demand session As cell and gene therapies continue to progress at a rapid pace, apheresis and collection centers face the challenges of keeping up with demand, while maintaining high-quality levels. This session focuses on capability and capacity considerations to support these emerging therapies, standardization strategies and solutions that can bring efficiencies…
When patients’ lives rely on a manufactured cell or gene therapy arriving exactly when and where it needs to, it is essential to ensure each step of the critical supply chain is managed as efficiently as possible. Cellular starting material collection is at the beginning of that supply chain, making cell collection processes vital to…
Considerations for developing scalable and efficient collection network processes The decisions you make when selecting apheresis centers to collect source material for your cell or gene therapy impact your ability to efficiently scale your processes. When your processes and protocols differ from those at an apheresis center, delays can occur. Following best practices can help.…
Starting material collection can set the fate of your final cell therapy product. Quality matters. That’s why your site qualification process—including your quality system audit—for each site is so important. But with the rapid proliferation of cell and gene therapies, current processes are unsustainable and could cripple cell collection site capacity. That could mean delays…
