Now Available On Demand: Preventing Advanced Therapy Program Delays with Early Supply Chain Strategy

Advanced therapy programs move through development under intense pressure. Teams are working to reach the clinic, generate data, satisfy regulatory expectations, scale operations, and ultimately deliver therapies to patients who may have limited or no other options. In that environment of competing priorities, all of which are important at the same time, supply chain decisions can become easy to defer. But as a recent roundtable webinar with XTalks made clear, decisions around cryopreservation, logistics, packaging qualification, site readiness, and documentation are not just operational details that can be solved later.
