The journal article, "apheresis for chimeric antigen receptor t-cell production in adult lymphoma patients", describes a retrospective study of 23 patients (age 37¿77 years) suffering from relapsed/refractory non-hodgkin's lymphoma who underwent autologous lymphapheresis as preparation for subsequent treatment with cd19-specific car t cells between april 2019 and december 2021.4 patients required blood transfusions after lymphapheresis due to drop in hemoglobin levels (this was expected).2 patients failed t-cell collection - this was due to severe lymphopenia and depressed t-cell counts prior to lymphapheresis - not due to device function.Specific patient details were not provided, therefore this report is being submitted as a summary of events.The disposable sets are not available for return for analysis.
