Background Information: �The Center for Cellular Engineering is an AABB accredited cellular therapy laboratory whose central mission is to provide services to the NIH Institutes in support of more than 50 intramural clinical trials.� These services include (1) development, evaluation, and validation of cellular therapies for INDs and (2) manufacture of cellular therapy products for approved clinical trials.� The majority of these trials are early phase (I/II) trials not intended to result in the development of a commercial product by the NIH.� To provide these services, CCE operates a core facility for the manufacture, storage, and distribution of cellular therapy products.� CCE manufactures cellular therapy products from more than 800 collections from patients and healthy donors per year.� The products manufactured by the laboratory are used to treat NIH CC patients with cancer, hematological malignancies, marrow failure, genetic immune disorders and autoimmune diseases.� All products are manufactured using current good manufacturing practices (cGMP).� The NIH protocols are institutional review board (IRB) approved and in the case of INDs, approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of human subjects.� The Center of Cellular Engineering needs to replace equipment that is becoming obsolete with spare parts no longer being manufactured, as a consequence, CCE will soon lose manufacturer support for these older devices.. The Center for Cellular Engineering manufactures cell based therapies for patients who have either no, or have exhausted all other standard treatment options. The manufacturing operations are regulated by the Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) as mandated by the FDA in 21 CFR 210, 211, 600 and 1271.
