Development of a 3-day manufacturing method to generate CD19-CD20-CD22 trispecific CAR T-cells from whole blood.

CAR T-cell manufacturing can now happen in 3 days instead of 7 while maintaining quality, potentially making life-saving cancer therapy faster.

A 3-day GMP-compliant whole-blood trispecific (CD19/CD20/CD22) CAR T-cell manufacturing process produces products with >95% viability, 53% transduction efficiency, stem-like phenotype, and cytotoxicity equivalent to standard 7-day products. This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.
