Cell therapy is a unique therapeutic platform whereby a patient’s own cells are the starting point to create the treatment. Cell therapy modifies a patient’s own immune cells to target their cancer.1
Unlike most cancer treatments, CAR-T cell therapy is a onetime treatment, available through Authorized Treatment Centers (ATCs), including hospitals that have experience with CAR-T cell therapy. Kite therapies are available at over 500 ATCs globally, including more than 135 leading cancer hospitals in the United States.1,2
