Welcome

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Following the great success of the first edition held in Paris in February 2019, the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) and the European Hematology Association (EHA) are teaming up again to bring to preclinical and clinical investigators from Europe and beyond, the 2nd edition of this European CAR-T Cell Meeting. The two professional associations are dedicated to raising awareness of the potential value of this new class of therapeutics, as well as to foster European preclinical and clinical initiatives

The recent approval of the first CAR T cell treatments in Europe presents a great opportunity to fight hematological malignancies, but also poses serious challenges given the peculiar nature of the treatment. Patients, physicians, nurses, hospitals and whole health systems need to learn how to select the right treatments, handle specific toxicities, organize treatment units and cope with the increasing costs connected with CAR T therapy.

This meeting will build on the knowledge and experience shared at the first joint meeting and will see the return of a number of key opinion leaders to give updates on the rapid developments in this exciting therapy. The program will include a comprehensive outlook on the current research efforts in Europe, the USA and China to increase access to CAR T cell therapies, evaluate new targets, improve efficacy and safety profiles, with input from basic researchers as well as representatives from the industry.

The target audience is hematologists, oncologists, physicians, nurses, data managers, supply chain managers and patient organization representatives and advocates.

We look forward to seeing you in Sitges (Barcelona), Spain this coming January for this noteworthy and influential Meeting dedicated to CAR T Cell therapies.

Yours sincerely,

Prof Christian Chabannon
Chair, EBMT Cellular Therapy & Immunobiology Working Party
and EBMT Scientific Council Vice-Chair

Prof Hermann Einsele
Chair, EHA-SWG on Immune Therapies for Hematologic Disorders

Clinical trial updates
How to set up a CAR T service
Treatment options when ineligible and following relapse of CAR T
Nursing guidelines
The patient experience

The Nurses Group is pleased to announce that the final session will offer the opportunity for our participants to attend a special Panel Discussion hosted by 5 international experts in the field of CAR-T therapy. Questions and practice challenges from throughout the day will be discussed and debated. We want to encourage the involvement and contribution of our participants to create stimulating and interesting discussions and generate new knowledge and approaches to Nursing care in the CAR-T setting.

Following the Panel Discussion, we will break out onto 5 ‘meet the expert’ tables where participants will explore a specific theme, and bring their own questions and topics to discuss in a more intimate environment. Participants will rotate from table to table every 10 minutes

Abstracts

Abstract submission is officially closed.

Abstract submission is an important part of the 2nd European CAR T Cell Meeting. As a participant, you will have the opportunity to submit an abstract for this meeting, and (if accepted) have the possibility to discuss it with the international faculty and your peers.

A selection of abstracts will be eligible for acceptance during the meeting, the presentation format will be in the form of oral presentations or poster presentations. Presenting authors will receive a separate invitation.

As a consequence of the high appreciation expressed by delegates for the flash talk session at the 1^st edition of the EU CAR-T Cell meeting, the Scientific Program Committee has decided to include two sessions during the 2^nd edition. A particular attention will be paid to presentations of emerging projects and initiatives in Europe. Abstract submission will close on the 15th November 2019 (23:59 UTC).
