Seamless End-to-End Logistical Coordination in CAR T-Cell Therapies: On Time, Tracked and Secure

The chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell journey includes three distinct phases: collecting the patient's white blood cells through apheresis, modifying the patient's T-cells to manufacture the CAR T-cells, and, finally, infusing the new fighter T-cells into the patient. Connecting these three phases for a timely process that optimizes the patient experience requires a well-coordinated logistical system.

Cell and Gene Therapy - High Quality and Safety from Vein to Vein: CMC Testing for CAR T-Cell Therapies

Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control (CMC) testing is an integral part of the CAR T-cell clinical journey during vector production and T-cell modification. These tests, mandated by the FDA and other regulatory agencies, uphold the safety, purity and potency of the product before being administered to the patient.

Access unparalleled scientific, operational and regulatory solutions across the entire cell and gene therapy development continuum – right from the start

Let’s Get Started

Gene therapies continue to hold promise as treatments for many diseases but there are numerous and unique challenges to developing them for submission as an Investigational New Drug (IND)/ Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD) application for use in clinical trials. These applications require an optimized scientific program designed to address the scientific, regulatory and practical challenges of gene therapy development.

Preclinical solutions:

  • Assess safety, establish proof of concept and feasibility rapidly

  • Successfully prepare for regulatory agency meetings and IND/IMPD/CTA submissions

  • Seamlessly transition to first-in-human trials 

Clinical trial solutions:

  • Identify, recruit and retain clinical trial participants using data-enabled solutions

  • Design and conduct patient-centric clinical trials 

  • Prepare and file for BLA/MAA and other submissions 

Today’s clinical trials have become more complex and expensive, pressuring pharmaceutical companies to further improve their clinical trial operations. Clinical trial data management is one area where both sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs) can uncover new efficiencies, increase cost-saving measures and better meet diverse operational reporting needs across the clinical development cycle.
The lasting image of the initial health exchange roll out is that of persistent technical problems that plagued the federal government’s insurance exchange website Healthcare.gov

Post-approval solutions:

  • Conduct long term follow up studies, Phase IV trials, and fulfill post-marketing commitments

  • Test for CMC lot release and stability of manufactured product

  • Optimize your product’s value and commercial success
