End of COBE2991®: What alternatives are available for the preparation of each type of cell therapy products? (SFGM-TC)
Abstract
The aim of this article is to discuss alternatives to COBE2991® (Terumo BCT©) for the preparation of cell therapy products, in view of its planned cessation of commercialization in 2025. Cell therapy units need to find alternative methods in the face of regulatory restrictions and equipment obsolescence. Currently, COBE2991® (Terumo BCT©) is widely used in France, but its replacement will require multiple validations and adjustment of practices, as there is no single equivalent equipment. Recommendations for harmonizing these practices were discussed at a specific workshop in September 2024, following a survey of 25 French-speaking cell therapy centers.
