What is CAR T-Cell Therapy?
A T cell is a type of white blood cell that normally helps protect your body from infections and disease.
A chimeric antigen receptor or “CAR” is similar to a specialized tracking device that a T cell can use to locate and destroy specific, diseased cells in the body. The process of creating a T cell with a CAR occurs in a lab.
Once assembled, the CAR T cell is delivered to the patient to treat a specific disease. Fate is developing a CAR T-cell therapy to treat various types of autoimmune diseases and cancers.

Fate’s CAR T-Cell Therapy Offers Additional Improvements compared to Existing CAR T-Cell Therapies
Traditional CAR T–Cell Process
Removal or tapering of existing medicines
Collect patient’s T cells in the hospital
Traditional CAR T-cell therapy will require multiple trips to a clinic for lengthy hospital procedures
Assemble T cells with CARs in a lab
Grow the CAR T cells until there is enough for treatment
Traditional CAR T-Cell therapy takes weeks to assemble the CAR T cells. The patient is left waiting for treatment
Infusion of CAR T cells Hospitalization ≥2 weeks
Traditional CAR T-cell therapy requires a lengthy hospitalization stay post infusion
Fate’s CAR T–Cell Process
Fate’s CAR T cells are pre-manufactured and available on demand
Fate’s CAR T cells are assembled using healthy T cells from a donor. They are manufactured, frozen and validated prior to delivery to clinical sites.
Infusion of CAR T cells
Return to normal activities
Total therapy time ≤8 days
Fate’s CAR T-cell therapy is ready when you are for administration. Get treated sooner so you can go back to doing what you love most.
Fewer hospital procedures
No waiting for treatment

Treatment Made Easy: Making Cell Therapies Accessible to All™
We Understand Your Time, Safety, and Comfort Matter.
Our team at Fate Therapeutics has designed a CAR T-cell therapy with these priorities in mind. This investigational therapy is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials and has not been approved, but it is being developed with the goal of making treatment more accessible, less disruptive, and focused on patient safety.

Safety in Mind
Your safety is out top priority
Some CAR T-cell therapies require collecting and modifying a patient’s own cells, which can take several weeks before treatment begins. Our investigational approach is different. Our treatment is prepared in advance and available at the clinic so you can begin treatment without delays.
