"As we expand our clinical program and further them into later-stage development and ultimately prepare for commercialization, we are entering the partnership with TrakCel to better manage the chain of identity for patient tumor samples and our TIL products. We selected TrakCel since the organization is a global leader in supply chain management for cell products," said Dr. Maria Fardis, PhD, MBA, President and Chief Executive Officer of Iovance Biotherapeutics. "Real time scheduling can be done through this system, once implemented, allowing for ease of scheduling by the physician and administrator of the TIL product. Real time tracking of patient material can be done by Iovance through an integrated bar-code as well."
Commenting on the partnership with Iovance, Ravi Nalliah, TrakCel's CEO said, "TrakCel's technology was developed to support companies as they scale up their therapies for late clinical development and commercial delivery. Cell therapy supply chains are complex and involve multiple stakeholders from cell or tumor sample collection, through manufacturing, to infusion of drug product and this complexity grows as patient numbers increase as products approach commercialization. Close management and scheduling of activities across this complex supply chain is essential to delivering an efficiently produced, safe and effective product, which in turn can help drive the commercial success of a cell therapy. We are delighted that Iovance has chosen TrakCel to support the clinical development and commercialization of their transformative TIL technology."
