03.28.24 -- Creating T Cell Vaccines In The Sands

SPONSOR

In biologic-based analytical CMC drug development, one of the most challenging obstacles in entering Phase II clinical trials is the cell-based potency assay. Common problems with CMC regulatory submissions include inadequate methods, lack of appropriate potency assays, or method description issues. The complexity of developing and validating a relative potency assay is often underestimated, given the need to balance MOA demonstration with minimizing variability. Learn more about how to develop a CMC Relative Potency Assay.
