Summary: One significant challenge in the manufacturing of cell and gene therapies is the production of high quality plasmid DNA (pDNA). pDNA is a critical raw material for advanced therapeutics including mRNA and viral vector-based cell and gene therapies and vaccines.
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) enable availability of next-generation cell therapies for broader patient population at a faster turnaround time for a variety of disease areas. Catalent iPSC expert Boris Greber discusses the use of iPSCs as starting materials for cellular therapies, including the concept behind a universal platform for iPSC-based therapies.
Drug developers face mounting challenges linked to rapid increases in demand for the complex modalities while also accounting for the need to drive process efficiencies at scale. Working with the right partner, that offers integrated services, can help ease the increasingly common problems with scale, access to high-demand raw material, viral vector production, and quality requirements.
Summary: Catalent Cell & Gene Therapy experts spoke with American Pharmaceutical Review to discuss how cell and gene therapies are changing the healthcare landscape and what needs to be done to bring these advanced therapies to patients.
