Paving the way to faster, more accessible immunotherapies

EASYGEN is a collaborative EU project aiming to optimise hospital workflows of CAR-T cell therapy for a sustainable healthcare workforce.

The challenge

Today’s licensed CAR-T therapies are typically manufactured in a handful of central GMP plants. In real-world cohorts, the median vein-to-vein time ranges between 4 and 6 weeks.

Only 18%

of eligible diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients in Europe receive CAR-T therapy

About 30%

of the total cost-of-care are related to logistics and bridging therapy (- by decentralization the longest and most expensive part will be removed)

Cross-border complexity

Cell therapies often travel across borders twice, under tight customs and shipping constraints.

Manual, error-prone processes

Manufacturing still depends on cleanroom-trained technicians and high-touch workflows which can result in delays, errors, and burn out clinical teams.

Unaffordable treatment costs

With treatment costs reaching over €500,000 per patient, many health systems can’t afford to scale up access. Every day lost can mean a life lost.

Our mission

EASYGEN's (EASY workflow integration for GENe therapy) goal is to enable an automated, modular manufacturing platform for CAR-T cell production at the point-of-care.
