Cell therapies and gene therapies make use of living cells or genetic material rather than small molecule or biologic pharmaceuticals. These therapies are classified as advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) and require specialized manufacturing processes.
In immune cell therapy, specific immune cell types (e.g. T cells, NK cells, regulatory T cells, and dendritic cells) are selected for their ability to detect and target cancer cells. Immune cell therapies most commonly target blood cancers (e.g. leukemias and lymphomas). In the cell therapy manufacturing process, cells are isolated from a patient, genetically engineered to introduce additional therapeutic functions (e.g. CAR-T and CAR-NK cells), activated to their functional state, expanded to achieve clinically useful cell numbers, and processed for final product fill and finish.
Regenerative medicine is often based on stem cells which can be manipulated to enhance tissue repair following disease or trauma. Common indications for regenerative medicine include neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, muscular dystrophy, and heart disease. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be differentiated into any of the three germ layers (endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm) for production of cells to rebuild any tissue in the body. The manufacturing process for stem cell-derived therapies is similar to that for immune cell therapies but also may contain steps for reprogramming somatic cells to iPSCs and differentiation of iPSCs into the desired cell type.
In gene therapy, DNA or RNA sequences are chosen to replace or inactivate mutated genes or to encode a missing protein. The active agent in gene therapies is this genetic material packaged in a vector for delivery to the defective cell type. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is the most commonly used vector, although other vectors such as transposons, nanoparticles, polymers, lipids, peptides, and inorganic materials are used as well. Gene therapies target hematological, immunological, neurodegenerative, metabolic disorders, and cancer that arise from genetic defects.
For all cell and gene therapies, thorough analysis is necessary at every stage of the manufacturing process to verify the identity, functionality, and purity of the product. The fully tested and approved cell or gene therapy is then administered to the patient. For manufacturing efficiency, reliability, and scale-up, it is critical to consider raw materials qualification, adoption of GMP-grade materials, reagent and assay customization to fit the process, scaling to increase process output, and the performance of analytical testing.
