We should fast track the CART access- every patient (kid or adult) who might benefit from this-should get it. Let’s join hands and move quickly. Any ideas for fast access?.

Dear @UdhavThackeray @AUThackeray @mybmc @CMOMaharashtra a request of enforcing parking rules in the city. Mumbai roads are wide enough but unauthorised parking of vehicles causes traffic jam. You can start a pilot project on Andheri East/ Sakinaka and see if it helps.

Excellent study! And I completely agree that POC in CART has fewer benefits then associated risks. In country like India, centralized (regional decentralisation) manufacturing with appropriate controls is key for manufacturing high quality CAR-T cells for our patients.

Significant win for CAR T vs non CAR T therapies in relapsed adult ALL in PFS and OS. To me this is an argument against point of care commercial manufacturing as CAR T relapse to treatment time was 2.8 mos, non CAR T relapse to treatment 0.32 mos.
