According to Mr. O’Donnell, “To develop a commercially viable cell therapy, companies have to consider packaging, storage, inventory management, monitoring systems, distribution, and even clinical site capabilities from the very beginning. Companies that overlook these issues until clinical trials begin can find that they have inadvertently limited their product’s scalability and commercial viability, or incurred unnecessary costs and complications downstream.”
Following his talk, Mr. O’Donnell will also participate in the round table discussion, “What does a commercially successful cell or gene therapy look like?”
The first breakout session following the plenary talks will address commercially feasible manufacturing and business models. Mr. Simpson, Fisher BioServices’ Director of Commercial Operations, will offer his insights on cold chain transport and building efficiency into operational processes, and will discuss recent case studies for allogeneic vs. autologous therapies. He will then participate in a roundtable discussion focused on minimizing the cost of goods and maximizing efficiency of operations.
