Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
2. The positioning of the lighting has cast a
natural shadow over the right side of his
face, representing a split personality and
hidden information.
3. Dave’s face is lacking any expression,
concealing a lot about his personality and
who he is as a person. The audience can
therefore only assess the physicality of his
character, not him as a person.
4. The grey colours used in the image
represent Dave as a very cold and
unwelcoming character who lacks
compassion and loyalty, again tying in
with the implication that he is evil.
5. The lack of a background in the image
represents Dave as being very isolated.
His attire matches the background,
suggesting that he wants to go unnoticed.
A lack of any other detail also represents
him as an important character.
6. Whilst the camera is level with Dave’s
eyes, he is looking down on the audience
with his chin raised, representing him as
being very narcissistic. It makes him
appear to think he has more power than
he actually has.
7. He is very smartly dressed with his shirt
buttons done all the way up, his hair
perfectly placed and cleanly shaven. This
represents Dave as a very professional
and almost too perfect person.
