T-VEC drawing up in syringes in isolator?

Hi all, I've noticed a few hospitals that are drawing up T-VEC in their hoods into syringes to dispense and was wondering if anyone else is doing this?

The PI does not recommend this and states not to do this until right before administration - previously in my last hospital we also dispensed the vials directly to the consultant.

I was wondering as well is there anyone here that was involved in the clinical trials for T-VEC and hence might be privvy to longer stability data/reconstitution times used during the trial that might differ from what is being marketed.

The other concern I have is that they are drawing it up in the same hood as chemo.

Do let me know!
