Caring for the Caregivers of CAR T Patients
At Gilead and Kite, we recognize that behind every patient undergoing CAR T-cell therapy is a spouse, family member, friend or designated care partner navigating the varied demands of caregiving. Our vision simple: to be the company that cares for CAR T caregivers.
We believe caregiving challenges should never stand in the way of potentially life-saving treatment like CAR T. That’s why we’re committed to breaking down barriers so every eligible patient has the opportunity for a cure with CAR T. Through collaboration with partners, we’re working to ease the systemic burdens faced by CAR T patients and caregivers by bringing forward resources, training and financial support programs that empower caregivers and improve the CAR T experience for patients and families.
Our multi-year partnership with the American Cancer Society is designed to address the most urgent caregiving needs associated with CAR T. Guided by insights from caregivers, institutions and community organizations this collaboration aims to deliver sustainable solutions that meet patients where they are and reinforce the systems that support them.
While caregiving often requires sacrifice, we also know it can be deeply meaningful. Thanks to advances like CAR T-cell therapy, many patients can now envision a life beyond cancer. With the right support, we believe patients and their care partners will be empowered to navigate the challenging moments and embrace hope.
Gilead and Kite are here to ensure caregivers receive the support they deserve. Because caregivers need care, too.
