Risk Assessment for use of Engineered Genetic Materials in Clinical Research

Advarra

The use of engineered genetic materials in clinical trials is rapidly expanding, with potential applications for genetic vaccines, gene-modified cellular therapies, and gene therapies. Either way, occupational exposure to these gene delivery systems bears potential risks to the research staff.

Improving Study Activation Time for Gene Therapy Research

Advarra

Research in gene therapies and genetically engineered drugs and vaccines are growing exponentially, and will only continue to become more popular. When treatments involve recombinant or synthetic nucleic acids, including messenger RNA (mRNA) or viral vector vaccines, additional IBC oversight is necessary.

Clinical Catch-Up: January 4-8 | BioSpace

The Pharma Data

The new year began with a fairly low level of clinical trial news. Arcturus Therapeutics got the FDA go-ahead for its Phase II trial of its COVID-19 vaccine candidate ARCT-021. The trial will enroll 600 participants, with 450 receiving ARCT-021 and 150 receiving placebo. Here’s a look. COVID-19-Related.

Spotlighting Lupus Awareness Month: CAR-T Technology Creates New Avenues for Treatment of a Devastating Disease

WCG Clinical

CAR-T Cells Target Harmful B Cells in Lupus CAR-T cell technology, which uses genetic engineering to direct white blood cells to attack specific molecular targets, was originally proposed for treatment of HIV infection and hematological malignancies. WCG has many ways to support cell and gene therapy clinical trials for lupus.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

It is worth noting that the transcription factor is responsible for recruiting RNA polymerase to bind to the gene and produce messenger RNA, which is then translated into the protein. An additional level of genetic control is provided by gene switches that are located upstream of the promoter region.

Biopharma Leaders Unite To Stand With Science

The Pharma Data

More specifically, the agency requires that scientific evidence for regulatory approval must come from large, high quality clinical trials that are randomized and observer-blinded, with an expectation of appropriately designed studies with significant numbers of participants across diverse populations.
