Are Production Assistance for Cellular Therapies (PACT) centers obligated to provide cells for CC applicants?
No. However, many of the criteria considered during the evaluation of a PACT product request will be addressed by either the review of the network clinical Center applications or the subsequent operating procedures of the Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Research Network. So while the PACT centers are not obligated to provide cells for the CCTRN< CCTRN Clinical centers would be in a position to submit product request applications to the current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) cell processing facilities that address all of the required criteria listed at the PACT internet website at http://www.pactgroup.net.
