What is it about?
The market for cell and gene therapies is expected to grow substantially, as many potential products are successfully advancing through early into late-stage clinical trials and are scaling up to commercialization. The day-to-day transport of these products, however, is a challenging endeavor. Even more so than with other pharmaceutical products, every damaged or lost shipment is a financial loss, a scientific setback and possibly the cause for a patient’s discomfort. Also regulatory guidelines are expected to become more stringent over time, adding to the pressure on logistics companies to refine the shipping process. The at.las network brings together experts from both the ATMP and the logistics field to discuss challenges and solutions. Together, we can ensure that ATMP logistic processes and systems are stable, robust and scalable.
