Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor Modified T-cell (CAR-T) Therapy for Treatment of B-cell Hematological Malignancies

Summary

CAR-T therapy is now available as a commercial product for treatment of relapsed /refractory acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and B-lymphoma. There is limited access to this new treatment as the product is very expensive. It is imperative to develop cost effective, closed circuit manufacturing systems for CAR-T cells to make CAR-T cells a point-of care production option. Hong Kong Institute of Biotechnology has established a certified GMP facility and utilize the Prodigy system to manufacture CAR-T cells for clinical application. Prince of Wales Hospital and Hong Kong Children's Hospital will conduct the phase II clinical trial to confirm the efficacy and safety of local manufactured CAR-T cell product.
