For patients in the US & Europe

When treatment runs out at home, it may not be over.

A growing number of patients from the US and Europe are reaching remission through CAR-T trials in China — often for a fraction of what it costs at home, and years before these therapies are approved where they live. We help you find out whether a trial could fit you.

Why patients look to China

A fraction of the cost

In the US, a single CAR-T infusion can run $300,000–$475,000. In China it is often around $150,000 — and new therapies are pushing prices lower still.

A field that's proven itself

China approved the world's first solid-tumour CAR-T in 2025, and therapies first developed there have gone on to win FDA approval — a sign of how far the science has come.

When you've been told to wait

For patients who've exhausted approved options, or face long waits at home, a trial can open a door in weeks rather than months.
