Eli Lilly, AbbVie, and AstraZeneca are racing to acquire in vivo CAR T platforms, which manufacture cancer-fighting cells inside the patient's body rather than in labs, potentially lowering costs and broadening access. Safety—maintaining precision and control once the genetic material is inside the patient—remains the critical regulatory and commercial hurdle that will determine winners in this emerging modality.
