Strategies to address the challenges associated with product manufacturing can improve chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) cell–based therapeutics. Here the authors report the results of two clinical trials in patients with B-cell malignancies, showing that place-of-care manufacturing has a low production failure rate with CD19-directed CAR-T cell products inducing high remission rates.
