CAR T-cell Podcast Series Completion
Episode 5, “Regionalized Point-of-Care approach using an Automated Closed System instrument with sterile disposable set” completes our latest INNOVATION VAULT™ Series, NexGen CAR T-cell Therapy; Democratization via Advanced Point-of-Care Production and Applications.

Step into the captivating world of cutting-edge cancer treatment in this episode unraveling the mysteries of CAR T-cell therapy, exploring its potential to transform the lives of cancer patients and the pivotal role that Point-of-Care (POC) manufacturing plays in making this groundbreaking therapy accessible and affordable to a larger population.

In this technical and engineering-focused episode, Chris Montalbano, MIDI CEO, unveils MIDI’s pioneering journey in developing an automated instrument with a contiguous disposable kit for the fabrication of autologous CAR T-cells. Departing from the conventional centralized manufacturing approach, this innovative, automated system aims to condense the entire “vein-to-vein” workflow into a seamless and efficient process, eliminating the need for multiple instruments, cleanroom facilities, and large teams of technicians.

Throughout the discussion, the challenges and regulatory aspects of POC manufacturing are tackled head-on. Chris sheds light on the need for a point of care regulatory framework that ensures the same level of safety and compliance as centralized manufacturing, highlighting the steps MIDI is taking to meet these requirements.

This democratization approach to CAR T-cell therapy will significantly impact patient care. By cutting costs, shortening manufacturing timelines, reducing contamination risks, and improving treatment outcomes, the automated closed-system instrument with disposable set presents a revolutionary solution that aims to cater to a larger patient population.

Tune into episode 5 and catch up on previous episodes diving into the fascinating world of cancer treatment advancements and MIDI’s pivotal role in shaping the future of CAR T-cell therapy. Learn how this breakthrough approach is set to transform the landscape of cancer care, bringing hope and healing to millions of lives.
