Key cell and gene therapy insights

• Introduction to Cell and Gene Therapy Products: We define and differentiate cell and gene therapy products, highlighting their disease-treating aim via the genetic material in live cells, emphasizing unique features in batch sizes, dosing, storage, equipment, and administration methods.
• Understanding Extractables and Leachables: The importance of assessing potential risks and impacts of extractables and leachables in these products. We cover systematic approaches for risk management, identifying potential sources of leachables, conducting risk analysis, and designing studies to address gaps in knowledge.
• Case Studies: For materials like polyethylene bags and PTFE tubing, we showcase how different solvents and conditions affect extractables. These studies highlight the importance of understanding solvent interactions and storage conditions to mitigate risks.
• Long-Term Storage Impact: The impact of freezing and thawing on leachable profiles, demonstrating how storage conditions could influence extractable levels, emphasizing the need for simulation studies to mimic real-world scenarios.
• Standards: The webinar stresses the importance of using a systematic approach aligned with quality risk management principles, such as those outlined in ICH Q9. It also emphasizes leveraging existing standards like USP 87 and 88 for biological reactivity testing and USP 661 for plastic materials.
