Cell therapies are tested for purity and count, but not for whether they can actually kill that patient's tumour. Testing them against the patient's own mini-tumour would show this.
Release criteria for CAR-T and TIL products measure viability, transduction and sterility, not tumour-specific cytotoxicity. Co-culturing an aliquot of the product with the patient's own organoid or tumour slice gives a functional potency assay with a killing readout. This could flag likely non-responders before lymphodepletion, and provide a comparator when choosing between products or targets.
