No delay in administration No delay in administration
Can be given in the community setting Can be given in the community setting?
Cons High cost High cost High cost
Continuous therapy Continuous therapy Long production time (4–6 weeks)
Higher doses may be required for antigen downmodulation CRS and ICANs toxicity CRS and ICANs toxicity
Payload mediated toxicity Requires conditioning therapy
Potential lower response rate Require adequate lymphocyte count and function

CRS: Cytokine release syndrome. ICANs: immune effector cell associated neurotoxicity syndrome.
