Short answer What to do about a missed treatment visit Common questions Related questions Sources**Afamitresgene autoleucel (Tecelra) is given as a single one-time infusion, so there is no repeat dose for you to miss.**
You do not take this medicine at home, and there is no catch-up dose to make up. What can be missed is an appointment in the treatment sequence: the visit where your T cells are collected, the lymphodepleting chemotherapy given in the days before infusion, the infusion itself, or the follow-up monitoring visits afterward. These steps are timed to work together, so a delay in one usually shifts the others. If illness, transportation, or anything else keeps you from an appointment, call your treatment center the same day so your team can rebuild the schedule. Keep the center's phone number saved in your phone and bring a written copy of your appointment dates to every visit.
What to do about a missed treatment visit
Common questions
What happens if you miss a dose of Afamitresgene Autoleucel Injection?
Afamitresgene autoleucel (Tecelra) is a one-time infusion of your own genetically modified T cells, given at a certified treatment center. There is no daily or weekly dose to take at home and no schedule to catch up on. What can be missed is an appointment in the process: the cell collection visit, the lymphodepleting chemotherapy days before the infusion, the infusion itself, or the required follow-up monitoring. Call your treatment center the same day if you cannot make any of these, because the steps are timed together and your team will reschedule the sequence for you. Stay within reach of the center for the monitoring period your team specifies.
