Program Description
This program will address challenges that labs face related to the long-term storage of cryopreserved products and inventory management. Examples of consent documents will be discussed and how expectations for length of storage has changed over the past 10-15 years.

Learning Objectives

Identify key elements of a strong consent document.
List common challenges faced by Cellular Therapy storage programs when evaluating products for discard.
Describe how changing clinical and industry expectations impact storage terms and approval for discard.
