Dr Gutierrez is the director of the Drug Discovery/Phase I Program, co-chief of Thoracic Oncology at John Theurer Cancer Center, Hackensack University Medical Center, as well as a professor in the Department of Oncology at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, both in New Jersey. He is also an associate member of the Thoracic & Gastrointestinal Oncology Program, co-chair of the Phase I Diseases Group, and co-chair of the Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center in Washington, DC. Dr Leslie is the director of the Indolent Lymphoma and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Research Programs at John Theurer Cancer Center, Hackensack University Medical Center, as well as an assistant professor at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine.

In our exclusive interview, Drs Gutierrez and Leslie discussed common barriers that institutions face when implementing CAR T-cell therapy programs, the early success story of outpatient administration of this modality at John Theurer Cancer Center, and future considerations for using this treatment approach in solid tumors.
