ESMO 2022: the evolution of TIL therapy – a highly promising approach

Pharmaceutical Technology

As an autologous cell therapy, manufacturing the infusion product is a highly specialised process involving tumour harvest and the extraction and large-scale ex vivo expansion of TILs. Once infused, TILs are further stimulated by IL-2 treatment. The overall response rate (ORR) for TILs was 48.8% versus 21.4% respectively.

BioNTech shelves oral mRNA vaccine plans with Matinas

Pharmaceutical Technology

The in vivo study, conducted in mice, involved a phosphatidylserine-containing nano-formulation of mRNA supplied by BioNTech, distinct from traditional lipid nanocrystals (LNCs). The latter partnership was recently expanded to focus on in vitro and in vivo delivery of mRNA after BioNTech pulled out of the deal with Matinas.

Leading innovators in CRISPR nucleases for the pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical Technology

The eukaryotic genome can be cut at any desired position by introducing plasmids containing Cas genes and specifically constructed CRISPRs into eukaryotic cells. However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. CRISPR nucleases serve as an important genome editing tool.

Untangling the Complexities of Cell and Gene Therapy Clinical Trials: A Supply Chain Perspective 

Pharmaceutical Technology

Autologous therapies are characterized as a circular supply chain; the patient’s own sample starts the supply chain, and it is then subjected to ex-vivo modifications with the resulting therapy administered back to that same patient. What are the general differences in the supply chain of CGT vs. traditional clinical trials?

Using PK Modeling and Simulation to Plan Studies for Pediatric Patient Populations

Camargo

The typical pathway toward initiating pediatric clinical research begins by gathering data in preclinical in vivo studies and in adult healthy volunteers or patients. If the model does not contain covariates relevant for young patients, they are added to the model based on the known information.
