Carvykti wiping out high-risk smoldering myeloma in 20 of 20 patients is a line-crossing moment—cell therapies are moving from last-resort to earlier intervention. For operators in oncology and biomanufacturing, capacity planning and payer negotiation need to assume front-line use cases, not niche salvage therapy volumes.
