Cell and gene therapies currently face significant manufacturing challenges from quality, quantity, and efficiency perspectives that require specific attention during the early development phase. The use of open, manual unit operations, scalability of existing 2D cell culture systems, access to the analytical methods and implementation of appropriate process analytics in the manufacturing process are examples of these challenges.
These challenges, if not identified and addressed quickly and properly, can negatively impact the transition of the process to manufacturing, leading to recurring failures during manufacturing runs and/or delays to industrializing production of the final product.
This webinar provide a checklist of the challenges and considerations in developing a robust, reproducible, and cGMP (current good manufacturing practice) compliant manufacturing process. Implementation of best practices during the development stage also shared, providing the cornerstones for success for drug developers in cell and gene therapy (CGT). Finally, the value of a phase appropriate process development (PD) and bioassay services (BAS) approach for clinical and commercial applications underlined.
