A single dose gene therapy designed to correct the underlying genetic defect, eladocagene exuparvovec (also called Upstaza and made by PTC Therapeutics), is infused directly into the brain through a minimally invasive procedure – the first gene therapy to be administered in this way...
Cell and gene therapy drug products represent a rapidly growing field in the development of new treatments for a wide range of diseases. These therapies have the potential to revolutionize medicine by offering cures rather than just managing symptoms. However, with this potential comes unique challenges, particularly with regard to biodistribution testing...
Non-clinical and clinical studies that evaluate pharmacokinetic (ADME) and toxicology characteristics are essential to determine cellular and gene therapy (CGT) product safety and efficacy. Studies on gene vector and transgene biodistribution (BD), gene expression, protein expression, viral shedding, vector integration...
Gene editing has the potential to transform the lives of patients with previously untreatable conditions, offering hope for a better future. As the technology continues to advance, it is likely that we will see more breakthroughs in this field in the coming years, bringing us closer to a world where rare diseases are...

The goal of the hypoimmune platform is to overcome the immunologic rejection of allogeneic cells, which if true for SC291 may result in longer CAR T cell persistence and a higher rate of durable complete responses for patients with B-cell lymphomas or leukemias. The hypoimmune platform includes disruption of major...
