Clinical units to set up chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR T-cells): Based on the recommendations of the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC).

The Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC) hold its eighth practice harmonization workshops on September 2017. In a workshop dedicated to chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR T-cells), the society issued recommendations regarding the prerequisite for hematopoietic cellular therapy programs to set up CAR T-cell therapy. In this article we focused on the prerequisite needed, in France, for a hematopoietic transplantation unit to start a CAR T-cell program with industrial manufactured cells within investigational products or after market access authorization.
