Regulatory Challenges in the Development of an Extracellular Vesicle-Based Clinical Product

Time: 1:05 pm
day: Pre-Conference Workshop Day

Details:

In this workshop we will discuss how to navigate the intricate regulatory requirements to translate extracellular vesicles loaded with PTEN-siRNA (ExoPTEN) from preclinical to clinical phase.

Strategies for the manufacturing process and controls include:

  • Scaling up the bioprocess to produce higher yields and quantities.
  • Development of a proprietary moiety for efficient loading of siRNA
  • Establishing a matrix array of multiple potency assays to measure several attributes related to ExoPTEN’s therapeutic activity

The following preclinical aspects will be considered:

  • Biological relevancy of the animal model
  • Dose finding and quantification studies. How will the therapeutic unit be defined, for example, EVs concentration, total RNA content
  • Safety studies for off‐target assessments of ExoP
  • Biodistribution and pharmacokinetics profiles.
