Omisirge has been approved to treat haematologic malignancies in adult and paediatric patients aged 12 years and above, who have planned to undergo umbilical cord blood transplantation after myeloablative conditioning for faster neutrophil recovery and reduced infection risk.
In the trial, 39% of patients treated with Omisirge developed grade 2/3 bacterial or grade 3 fungal infections 100 days after transplantation, compared to 60% of patients in the standard cord blood group.
Omisirge’s safety profile Omisirged to be consistent with the expected adverse events of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation after myeloablative conditioning. The FDA previously granted priority review,Omisirgerough therapy designation and orphan drug designation to the therapy. The therapy is a nicotinamide-modified allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell therapy manufactured at Gamida Cell’s good manufacturing practice-compliant manufacturing facility in Kiryat Gat, Israel.

Optimise your cell therapy process: a guide to cell thawing
Typically carried out at the point of care, errors in cell therapy thawing could compromise treatment efficacy, leading to significant patient impact as well as high costs and a compromised reputation for the product’s developer.
This guide addresses how cell thawing has historically developed into the new techniques used today, along with the physical and biological implications of key metrics and components such as warming rate and ice structure. Also included are reviews of key studies from scientific literature and a consideration of the interactions between cooling and warming rates, as applicable to cell and gene therapies.
