Question about the process

Can someone explain the process of being infused with Provenge? From my understanding, you must go to an apheresis center to have blood drawn for transfer to DNDN who then process it and return it to an infusion center. Are these two different locations and approximately how many apheresis centers are licensed per state?
 


















long and cumbersome and then a 15% chance that the product will be rejected per each infusion...

Thanks for your opinion J&J. To answer the original question -yes these are two different locations. One is to perform the collection the second is for your infusion. This is the first of this type of immunotherapeutic product to the market. It is also autologous so the patients cells are needed to "make" the product, hence the process. If you are a patient, the best to you with treatment.
