This meeting will include panel participants from GMP organizations who are currently implementing strategies to meet the requirements in the newly released guidance documents. This moderated session will include the ability of the audience to ask the panelists pertinent questions as to how they and their organization are addressing each phase of the released guidance.

JIT FOR CAR-T AND PTC FOR GENE THERAPY APPLICATIONS AND
THE PDA DELAWARE VALLEY SCIENCE FAIR
Finalists Displays:
DESCRIPTION OF MEETING: Currently CAR T products typically represent the final treatment option for patients suffering from various forms of cancer. It is critical that CAR T products are manufactured and returned to the patient in an expedited manner. To achieve this goal, manufacturers of CAR T products must adopt and utilize Quality Risk Management (QRM) principles during manufacture, testing, and release. Risk based contamination control strategies must be employed from apheresis collection through final product release. A risk assessment, encompassing each step of the manufacturing process, should be performed to highlight potential areas of microbial ingress. Where possible, mitigating actions must be implemented to eliminate risk or reduce risk to an acceptable risk level. Based on a well-defined and documented microbial contamination control strategy, it should be possible for manufacturers to implement a just-in-time microbiological release strategy. This meeting will highlight microbial contamination control and testing risks that can be identified throughout each stage of the manufacturing process that will allow for a potential just in time release of CAR T products.
SPECIAL EVENT: The PDA Delaware Valley Science Fair has been supported by the Delaware Valley Chapter of PDA for over 30 years. As judged by the PDA Planning Committee, the finalists and their families will all be in attendance with their displays in the foyer and relate to the entire assembly a summary of their science project and results. These amazing kids are the next generation of scientists in our world. Come support their efforts.
