Experts Say



“In one of our cases, a patient’s tumor mass measured 11 cm and completely disappeared after one month, demonstrating that in vivo therapy remains effective even in certain extreme scenarios.”Stunning Potential。”


“In vivo therapy does not require lymphodepletion, which is a significant advantage for patient safety, but how to select appropriateProphylactic Medication"Still an open question."


“The patients we selected were all in the last-line setting, almost akin to those with solid tumors and an extremely high tumor burden, who would be completely excluded from traditional clinical trials, but we used them for extreme validation.”In VivoTherapeuticSafety。”


“If domestic companies want toInternational Deals, first consider how to conduct production from the perspective of international regulatory compliance; this is not a matter of volume, but ratherThe Rationality of Storytellingthe issue.”


 In VivoCAR-T may beGoing to ‘Belt and Road’ Countriesa powerful tool, as it is a single-injection therapy that does not require complex ex vivo preparation processes.”


“China did not blindly follow the U.S. black box warning, but rather based its decision on its own clinical data. This reflects China’s approach to cell therapy regulation.”Independence and Advantages。”


“The future development trend of quality standards is ‘Method Substitution“Physicochemical methods should be prioritized over biological ones, and cell-based alternatives should be used in lieu of animal testing, which imposes higher technical demands on R&D enterprises.”


“Considerations must be made during the R&D phaseQuality Control, particularly with respect to method validation and standard establishment; otherwise, even if the data appear favorable, they may still be rejected during regulatory review.”
