MedTherapy Unveils Breakthrough Global Measures to Revolutionize CAR-T Cell Therapy Manufacturing
Jan 19, 2025/Press release — At the prestigious JP Morgan Annual Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, MedTherapy, a Boston-based biotechnology company specializing in Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies, announced groundbreaking advancements to address critical manufacturing challenges in the CAR-T cell therapy industry.
The company revealed an innovative integrated manufacturing model that reduces production time by 90% and costs by over 70%, aiming to make life-saving CAR-T cell therapies more accessible and affordable worldwide.
The Growing Need for Efficient CAR-T Manufacturing
Since its FDA approval in 2017, CAR-T cell therapy has offered hope as a potential “cure” for certain cancers. While more than half a dozen CAR-T therapies have demonstrated remarkable clinical outcomes, the industry is plagued by severe manufacturing constraints, including:
- Prolonged production timelines (several weeks per therapy).
- Acute shortage of viral vectors required for therapy development.
- Supply chain issues, exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- High costs, often exceeding $100,000 per therapy.
These challenges have limited patient access to this revolutionary treatment.
MedTherapy’s Game-Changing Manufacturing Model
MedTherapy’s end-to-end integrated Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) model offers a full-spectrum solution, addressing the most pressing challenges in CAR-T and cell and gene therapy manufacturing.
Key features include:
- Streamlined production: Significant reduction in manufacturing time and costs.
- Global scalability: Facilities strategically located in Boston, USA, and New Delhi, India, to serve diverse markets.
- Customizable services: Support for viral vector production, CAR-T cell therapy manufacturing, or both, tailored to partners’ needs.
