To ensure site readiness and support consistent site execution, we are building a dedicated team of field-based operational roles to help educate treatment sites on the practical, logistical, and operational requirements necessary to onboard the product effectively, inform treatment sites about helpful workflows and tools related to this product , and sustain reliable end-to-end execution through steady-state operations following potential FDA approval.
