Core Tip Among 99 myeloma patients undergoing apheresis for planned chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, 12% progressed or died before manufacturing completed (median 54 days). This attrition disproportionately affected patients with aggressive phenotypes, such as extramedullary disease or plasma cell leukaemia. Because raw survival differences overstate treatment effects due to survival bias during manufacturing, time-dependent analyses are essential. Clinically, these findings highlight the urgent need for shorter manufacturing times, intensified bridging therapy and expedited scheduling for high-risk patients, and standardizing outcome reporting from the date of apheresis.
