From first collection to commercial launch: Streamlining your supply chain to support next generation therapies

With the surge of innovative cell and gene therapies moving to market, commercial readiness is crucial to successfully delivering these therapies to waiting patients.

As your therapy operations move from early-phase clinical trials to larger populations in late-stage trials and commercialization, your supply chain complexity—and risk—increases. Anticipating common setbacks and actively planning for their solution requires a specialized and collaborative approach with your supply chain partner.

Attend this upcoming webinar for expert insights into strategies that aid in the development of a commercial supply chain for emerging autologous and allogeneic therapies.

  • Proven supply chain strategies that have supported the successful commercial launch of cell and gene therapies 
  • Keys to forming and maintaining successful collaborations in cell therapy starting material procurement and management 
  • The importance of leveraging partners that have historical expertise and offer comprehensive support across the commercial supply chain 
  • Decisions made during clinical development to help anticipate challenges at each phase of advancement and streamline commercialization
