ICER (Integrated Cell Efficacy Ratio)

ICER, or Integrated Cell Efficacy Ratio, is a metric used to assess the effectiveness of a cell-based therapy or treatment. It combines data on how well the cells perform with overall safety and consistency, providing a comprehensive measure of clinical benefit. Think of it as a performance score that balances how effectively the cells treat a condition against possible risks or variability, helping researchers and healthcare professionals evaluate whether the therapy is worthwhile and ready for wider use. It supports informed decisions in developing and approving new cell therapies.
