Directing the immune system to precisely target malignancies is a remarkable prospect, and early clinical achievements are encouraging wider adoption. However, translating this promise into routine clinical use remains challenging, particularly around manufacturing, delivery, and ensuring durable efficacy and long-term safety.

This meeting will convene key opinion leaders, experts, and stakeholders to explore the rapidly evolving CAR T therapy landscape, with a focus on:

  • Clinical successes and remaining challenges
  • Managing toxicities
  • Mechanisms and strategies to support long-term safety and efficacy
  • Recent scientific innovations and emerging indications

Building on the success of previous editions, the program will highlight the latest developments in:

  • Scientific advances
  • Clinical updates
  • Real-world applications

We look forward to fostering thoughtful discussions, meaningful connections, and continued progress in improving patient care.

Whether you’re a physician, scientist, industry representative, nurse, data manager, pharmacist, or patient advocate, this meeting offers a unique opportunity to engage with the forefront of CAR T-cell research and therapy development.
