Our takeaways? (1) There’s a move toward outpatient care and (2) unnecessary apheresis bottlenecks are still a thing. There is no good reason for apheresis to be a bottleneck in the delivery of a CAR-T cell therapy to every patient that needs one.
Every member of Blood Centers of America across 43 US states is keen to do everything in their power to ensure apheresis options exist so that safe, on-demand, and cost-effective apheresis collections can happen wherever they are needed, whenever they are needed.
