Review Title: Accelerating accessibility of CAR-T/NK therapies – Are AlloCARs and rapid manufacturing platforms the road ahead in improving access in multiple myeloma?
Abstract: While the advent of CAR-T therapies has heralded a new era of efficacious therapies in relapsed/refractory Multiple Myeloma, access continues to be a major limiting factor due to prolonged manufacturing times of autologous products and apheresis and/or manufacturing failures. Allogeneic adoptive cellular therapy products (CAR-T, CAR-NK), currently investigational, are “off-the-shelf” products that may address availability and manufacturing bottlenecks. Novel rapid manufacturing platforms that decrease adoptive cell therapy product development time by weeks are currently being tested in clinical trials and may additionally help bridge the demand-supply chasm. This review provides a comprehensive overview of allogeneic adoptive cellular therapies and rapid manufacturing platforms in development. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
