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.

5. Case study
Dr. S is becoming increasingly frustrated with
patients who come to her either before or after
consulting another health practitioner for the
same ailment. she considers this to be a waste of
health resources as well as counter- productive
for the health of the patients. she decides to tell
these patients that she will no longer treat them
if they continue to see other practitioners for the
same ailment. she intends to approach her
national medical association to lobby the
government to prevent this form of misallocation
of healthcare resources.
6. What is Ethics?
Ethics is defined in the Webster dictionary as
“the philosophical analysis of human
morality and conduct that are established by
society” (Webster, 2005).
Ethics is The Norms for conduct that distinguish
between acceptable & unacceptable behavior

7. What is Ethics?
• Ethics are the standards of a particular
profession, occupation, institution, or group
within society. The word “Ethics”, when used
in this way, usually serves as a Modifier for
another word, e.g. Business ethics, Medical
ethics, Sports ethics, Military ethics, etc…. All
are professional ethics

Public Health Service Policy
• National Advisory Health (NIH) Council Director and
Surgeon General requested that the Council review
human subject protections
• (NIH) Council recommended prior institutional review
for PHS supported research to:
– Protect of the rights and welfare of the subjects
– Assure appropriate methods of informed consent
– Determine acceptable balance of risks and benefits
• Adopted as Public Health Service policy in 1966

14. Role of IRB
• Shared responsibility for ensuring ethical standards
among investigators, peers, local community.
• Independent assessment of risks and benefits to
human subjects.
• Reflect values of local community
• Work collegially with PIs to safeguard subjects’ rights,
safety and welfare.
• Additional provisions for vulnerable subjects:
Prisoners, Children , Pregnant women and fetuses.
15. C -The Consent Process
Informed consent is not a single event or just a form to
be signed , rather, it is an educational process that
takes place between the investigator and the
prospective subject.
It means that people approached and asked to
participate in a research study must,
A.Know what they are getting involved with before they
commit;
B.Not to be manipulated in any way to participate,
C.Consent to participate in the project as a subject
Voluntarily.
16. Requirements For Informed ConsentRequirements For Informed Consent
The first requirement is that information disclosed to
research participants must include, “ procedure, their
purposes, risks and anticipated benefits, alternative
procedures and a statement offering the subject the
opportunity to ask questions and to withdraw at any
time from the research.
The second is comprehension, The concept of
comprehension requires researchers to adapt
information to be understandable to every participant.
taking into consideration different abilities, intelligence
levels, maturity, and language needs
The third requirement is voluntariness.

TYPES OF EITHICS
• Standards of conduct that apply to people who
occupy a professional occupation or role.
• A person who enters a profession acquires ethical
obligations because society trusts them to provide
valuable goods and services that cannot be
provided unless their conduct conforms to certain
standards.
• Professionals who fail to live up to their ethical
obligations betray this trust.
• Professional ethics studied by ethicists include
medical ethics.

20. 3.Bioethics
• Bioethics could be defined as the study of
ethical issues and decision-making associated
with the use of living organisms

environmental ethics.
Bioethics is learning how to balance different
benefits, risks and duties.

21. 4.Clinical Ethics
Clinical ethics is a practical discipline that
provides a structured approach for
identifying ,analyzing, and resolving ethical
issues in clinical medicine.
Clinical ethics focuses on the doctor-patient
relationship including such issues as honesty,
competence, integrity, and respect for persons

• Clinical ethics aims to improve patient care
and patient outcomes by focusing on reaching a
right and good decision in individual cases.
• Clinical ethics include specific issues such as
truth-telling, informed consent, end of life care,
palliative care, allocation of clinical resources,
and the ethics of medical research.

28. Ethical norms in research can,,,
Promote the Aims of Research. such as knowledge, truth,
and avoidance of error ( prohibitions against fabricating,
falsifying, or misrepresenting research data.)
Promote the Values that are Essential to Collaborative
Work, such as trust, accountability, mutual respect, and
fairness.
Help to Ensure that researchers can be held
accountable to the Public, to build public support for
research .
Promote a variety of other Important Moral and Social
Values , such as social responsibility, human rights, animal
welfare, compliance with the law, and health & safety.
http://www.niehs.nih.gov/index.cfm
Importance Of Ethical Norms in Research
29. Ethical lapses(mistakes) in research can significantly
harm human and animal subjects, students, and the
public
The study of ethics prepares medical students to
recognize difficult situations and to deal with them in a
rational and principled manner.
Importance Of Ethical Norms in Research
It Is Important to remember
that ethIcs and Law are not
the same, ethIcaL norms tend
to be broader and more
InformaL than LawsWhat is Ethics in Research & Why is it Important .html
30.
31. • Ethics is the norms for conduct , but not general standards of
conduct it is the standards of a particular profession, occupation,
institution, or group within society.
• Ethics become a must because of several medical crimes against
humanity that occurs at the last century (Nuremberg ,,,,, )
• Ethical principles and guidelines for the protection of human
subjects of research was done through several steps started at
1947 and continue until now.
Summary
32. • Three basic protections for human subjects called basic
ethical principles (Institutional assurances, IRB review,
informed consent)
• Ethical Norms are Important in Research , as it
Promote the Aims of Research.
Promote the Values that are Essential to Collaborative Work
Help to build public support for research .
Promote a variety of other Important Moral and Social
Values .
Ethical lapses can significantly harm human and animal
subjects, students, and the public
• Ethics and Law are Not The Same
Summary
33. Back To The Case Study
• According to the analysis of the physician- society
relationship , dr. S. is right to consider the impact on
society of her patient's behavior.
• even if the consultations with the other health
practitioner occur outside of the health system in which
dr. s works , the patient is taking up Dr. Ss’ time that
could be devoted to other patients in need of her
services. However, dr. s must be cautious in dealing
with situations such as this.
• Patients are often unable to make fully rational
decisions and may need considerable time and health
education to come to an understanding of what is in the
best interests of themselves and of others.
• Dr. s is also right to approach her medical association
to seek a societal solution to this problem.
34. Case Study
Dr. R, GP in a small rural Town , is approached by a
Contract Research Organization (C.R.O.) to participate
in a clinical trial of anew (NSAID) drug for osteoarthritis
She is offered a sum of money for each patient that she
enrolls in the trial. The C.R.O. representative assures
her that the trial has received all the necessary
approvals , including one from an ethics review
committee.
Dr. R has never participated in a trial before and is
pleased to have this opportunity, especially with the
extra money. She accepts without inquiring further
about the scientific or ethical aspects of the trial

35. Back to the Case Study
• Dr. R should not have accepted so quickly. She should
first find out more about the project and ensure that it
meets all the requirements for ethical research.
In particular, the protocol that was submitted to the
ethics review committee and any comments or
conditions that the committee put on the project.
• She should only participate in projects in her area of
practice, and she should satisfy herself about the
scientific merit and social value of the project.
• She should ensure that she acts in the best interests
of her patients and only enrolls those who will not be
harmed by changing their current treatment to the
experimental one or to a placebo.
The World Medical Association Ferney-Voltaire Cedex, France
email: wma@wma.net • www.wma.net
36. Back to the Case Study
• She must be able to explain the alternatives to her
patients so they can give fully informed consent to
participate or not to participate.
• She should not agree to enroll a fixed number of
patients as subjects since this could lead her to
pressure patients to agree, perhaps against their best
interests.
• She should carefully monitor the patients in the study
for unexpected adverse events and be prepared to
adopt rapid corrective action.
• Finally, she should communicate to her patients the
results of the research as they become available.
