Vineti expands its platform to support provision of American Red Cross allogeneic apheresis collections for cellular therapy

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 06, 2017 -- Vineti, Inc., the leading software and analytics company for cell and gene therapies, today announced that it will be expanding its technology platform to support the provision of American Red Cross allogeneic apheresis collections for cellular therapy. The Red Cross, the nation’s largest single provider of blood products, is already a key provider of autologous apheresis collection services for cellular therapy.

The Vineti digital platform supports next-generation therapies by integrating and tracking the entire cell therapy process, from ordering and logistics to manufacturing and clinical data.

This technology will help the Red Cross expand patient access to cell therapy products and set standards for this emerging field.

“We developed the Vineti platform to help innovative treatments reach the patients who need them the most. We strongly believe that the right leaders, setting standards early in this new field, will create an essential environment of patient safety and trust,” said Amy DuRoss, CEO at Vineti. “Vineti is proud to provide this service to the Red Cross to expand patient access to these critical therapies.”

With multiple fixed sites across the country and staff experienced in apheresis collections, the Red Cross is exceptionally well-positioned to provide cell collection services to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.

“The Red Cross has been involved in performing apheresis collections in support of cellular therapy for over ten years, and currently performs thousands of such procedures each year,” said Geoff Kaufmann, Vice President of Patient Services at the Red Cross. “Access to a technology platform to support allogeneic collections will enhance our cellular therapy offerings.”

Caregivers, suppliers, and pharmaceutical pioneers are empowered to reach more patients sooner by partnering their products and therapies with a digital, data-driven platform focused on scalability, efficiency and safety.
