Expanding CAR T Beyond Oncology: Medical, Operational & Practical Considerations

Life Sciences, Clinical Trials, Drug Discovery & Development, Cell and Gene Therapy,
  • Tuesday, October 29, 2024

After bringing groundbreaking treatment advancements to oncology, CAR T therapies are beginning to show promise in additional therapeutic areas. As these advanced therapies enter clinical trials in new patient communities, successful programs rely on understanding which elements of the oncology construct can be seamlessly applied in the new paradigm.

In this webinar, panelists will discuss how the collaboration between therapeutically aligned teams impacts study delivery for CAR T in autoimmune disease and neurology clinics. Discussions will include considerations for sponsor, site, and patient stakeholders. Don’t miss this chance to learn from the successful implementation of CAR T trials and to ask the panelists your own questions.
