MINNEAPOLIS and SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Be The Match BioTherapies®, an organization offering solutions for companies developing and commercializing cell and gene therapies (CGTs), and Vineti, the provider of the leading digital enterprise platform for cell and gene therapy supply chains, today announced a collaboration to develop joint solutions that simplify and scale supply chain management of cell and gene therapies.
The non-exclusive collaboration will bring together industry leaders in workflow and logistics solutions -- Be The Match BioTherapies’ cellular therapy supply chain management services and Vineti’s Personalized Therapy Management® (PTM) platform. The collaboration will enable the Be The Match BioTherapies Cell Therapy Supply Chain Managers and Logistics Coordinators to utilize the PTM® platform on behalf of shared biopharmaceutical clients with greater efficiency and simplicity.
The organizations leverage complementary strengths in starting material collection, cell therapy supply chain and managed logistics, Chain of Identity (COI) and Chain of Custody (COC), and enterprise-grade digital solutions for end-to-end value chain management. The collaboration will provide unique integrated solutions for these mission-critical components of CGT operations, and will simplify workflows, speed time to treatment, and provide the flexibility that CGT development requires.
“This is a message to the industry that both parties are committed to improving our clients’ experience, and to improving outcomes for patients by building a combined solution that eliminates unnecessary complexity,” said Amy Ronneberg, CEO of the National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP)/Be The Match® and Be The Match BioTherapies®.
By combining each team’s core expertise, the organizations aim to create innovative solutions that blend Be The Match BioTherapies’ best in class cell therapy supply chain services with Vineti’s proven expertise in advanced therapy management and enterprise grade digital technology to deliver next-generation therapy management, automated traceability, and digitized compliance for CGTs.
“We’re very honored to partner with Be The Match BioTherapies,” said Amy DuRoss, CEO and Co-founder of Vineti. “Both organizations share a focus on driving transformative outcomes for patients that wouldn’t be possible without cell and gene therapies. We’ll be able to offer a solution that reduces timelines to the clinic, while allowing CGT developers to simplify and scale operations with best-in-case expertise, services, and digital tools.”
The Be The Match BioTherapies-Vineti solution will be available from both organizations’ Business Development teams. This news follows the recent Be The Match BioTherapies webinar on scalable and efficient cell collection networks as well as Vineti’s recent partnership announcement with Autolomous.
