The treatment itself is a one-day procedure (although the patients will be generally kept under observation for CRS for a few days and then regularly monitored for response), the 3 weeks is the time needed for manufacturing/QC. In that time patients receive bridging chemotherapy until the CAR-T product is ready and unfortunately some do not make it.
