Increasing use of DMSO in CAR-T formulations

    The Excipients Community recently had a knowledge exchange and the topic of DMSO in parental formulations brought up by @Robert Strickley.  It is an excipient in 7 commercial products since 2017 at concentrations at 5% or greater for an intravenous infusion. There is no maximum IV infusion listed in the FDA Inactive Ingredients Database. Can anyone comment about using DMSO in these formulations?
