Program Description: Cellular therapy products are cryopreserved and stored in liquid nitrogen freezers for subsequent transplantation into recipients. Storage duration is variable but is typically a few weeks to a few years. Unused products may continue to be stored for many decades after the recipient has been transplanted due to a lack of careful management of product inventory and storage capacity as well as the inability or unwillingness to enforce disposition agreements. Discarding products for recipients that are still alive or whose status is unknown is not an option which complicates inventory management. The goal of this eCast is to present strategies for optimizing cellular therapy product cryopreservation and storage. The logistical and legal considerations for implementing these various strategies will be discussed.
