GeneTherapy: Genetherapy is a biologic treatment that involves manipulating a virus to carry a certain, desirable piece of genetic material which can then target a patient’s cells. As biopharma technology progresses, becoming both more prevalent and available, the need for high-quality biopharma packaging increases.
One aspect of the therapy that was not entirely new was the use of engineered viruses to deliver instructions for the gene editing therapy into Terry’s cells. Like many genetherapy companies, Cure Rare Disease packaged the therapy in adeno-associated viruses.
The expansion forms part of Catalent’s ongoing global strategy to increase its ability to handle, store and manage advanced therapies for clinical supply, and follows investments at its facilities in Philadelphia, Singapore, and Shanghai, China, in specialized, ultra-low temperature storage capabilities.
There are a few common types of biologics, including extracted (taken directly from a living system), semi-synthesized (produced with recombinant DNA technology), vaccines, and genetherapies. Covid-19, flu, coronavirus liquid vaccine vial bottle and syringe set in plastic package container preparing for injection on white background.
The acquisition targets had a wide variety of manufacturing services, including API and dose manufacturing, packaging, and analytical services. These acquisitions focused on advanced cell and genetherapy capabilities.
Spark Therapeutics developed a VR product , alongside a partner, to teach haemophilia patients about genetherapy. VR for real world education. This has not escaped the notice of pharmaceutical companies looking to educate patients on topics, with which they may not have the most health literacy.
Our community of supply chain experts are looking forward to connecting with you in the digital world, including: Christopher Baldwin , Supply Chain Director, Cell & GeneTherapy¸ GSK. Reggie Foster , Senior Director Labelling, Logistics & Packaging, Kite: a Gilead Company.
While on the surface this may not seem like major advance for the field, this could be a game changer for the genetherapy space. These meetings have a question-and-answer format to provide clarity to sponsors about the particular topics at hand.
BioMarin Pharmaceutical announced the FDA no longer plans to hold an advisory committee meeting to review its BLA for Roctavian an AAV genetherapy for adults with severe hemophilia A.
The move is particularly timely given the significant growth expected in global sales of cell and genetherapies. Our QC testing capabilities range from solids, semi-solids and liquids for oral, inhaled and injectable use to packaging materials, including rubber closures, glass and plastic containers.
As the pharma industry stands firm in its commitment to advance the sector to fight Covid-19, news has emerged from the European Commission who intend to streamline the development of therapies using genetically modified organisms to treat Covid-19. Regenerative medicine and advanced therapies thriving despite Covid-19 disruption.
Utilize SDTM Conversion Tools: To convert the extracted data into SDTM format, employ SDTM conversion tools or software packages available in the market. Exported data may be in a raw format (e.g., CSV, Excel) or in a vendor-specific format compatible with SDTM conversion tools.
