Skysona Dosage

Skysona is usually given at a qualified treatment center or in a hospital setting. Your child's provider will determine the dose of this medication based on your child's body weight. The treatment process takes several stages:

• Cell collection and manufacturing: Stem cells are collected from the body and sent to a lab where they're made into Skysona that's specific for your child. This process takes a little over 2 months.
• Conditioning: Your child will receive chemotherapy to prepare their body to receive Skysona. This step takes about 1 week.
• Infusion: Your child's provider will infuse Skysona into the veins as a one-time infusion. The infusion takes about 2 hours.

After treatment, your child will need to stay in the hospital for about 2 months while their provider monitors their recovery and check for side effects.
