CAR-T cell therapy with CAR-T products manufactured in-house
Lead physicians: Prof. Dr. med. Peter Dreger and Prof. Dr. med. Michael Schmitt
We carry out about 40 CAR-T cell therapies a year with industrial products. We also currently have two proprietary products: CD19 (Indication: ALL, CLL, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma) and BCMA (Indication: Myeloma).
Our CAR-T cell products are very well tolerated. For this reason, the treatment can also be carried out on an outpatient basis.
