Manufacturing genetically modified T cells for clinical trials

Cancer Gene Ther. 2015 Mar;22(2):67-71. doi: 10.1038/cgt.2014.71. Epub 2015 Jan 30.

Abstract

Compliance with Food and Drug Administration regulations relating to initiating early phase clinical trials of new cellular therapy products often presents a hurdle to new investigators. One of the biggest obstacles is the requirement to manufacture the therapeutic products under current Good Manufacturing Practices-a system that is usually poorly understood by both basic researchers and clinicians. This article reviews the major points that must be addressed when manufacturing genetically modified T cells for therapeutic use.
