Design considerations for ATMP cleanrooms (Eddy Breed, MSc)

To be announced. 

Setup of a Dutch academic GMP vector manufacturing platform: Lessons learnt in CAR-T productions at the UMCG (prof. dr. Edwin Bremer)

How to establish a Dutch academic vector manufacturing platform that will facilitate and guide translation of preclinical research and early phase I/II clinical trials by providing centralized and streamlined EU-GMP compliant manufacturing capabilities. The Dutch platform for cancer-specific ATMP Research (DARE-NL) is a new partnership (with UMCG as partner) which was established to accelerate clinical testing of novel oncological ATMPs to ensure timely and sustainable access to potentially curative treatment options for cancer patients. The Hematology department of the UMCG plays an important role within DARE-NL in setting up a central platform for biological raw materials and technologies for academic centers. This platform focuses, among other things, on the development of viral vectors for the new generation of cell and gene therapies. This will accelerate the production and clinical application of such revolutionary therapies, including CAR-T therapy, in academic centers. At the UMCG, the Hematology department works together with the pharmacy to make CAR T cells for the treatment of lymphoma.

Experience and challenges in decentralized manufacturing and clinical application of CAR-Ts (Joost van den Berg, PhD)

At Galapagos, we designed an decentralized CAR-T manufacturing and supply model, using state-of-art technology.Clinical centers of excellence are selected, having experienced clinical teams and a local cell processing facility. The centers are provided with Lonza’s Cocoon™ platform, a fully closed and automated manufacturing device, a kit comprising CAR-T and QC reagents, and full training and support. Clinicians are thereby enabled to schedule and perform CAR-T treatments with a week vein-to-vein time, with simplified logistics compared to conventional centralized production. Experiences and logistical challenges and improvements will be discussed.
