Klappentext

Industry-centric perspective on translational and bioanalytical challenges and best practices for gene therapies
Drug Development for Gene Therapy focuses on the translational and bioanalytical challenges and best practices for gene therapy modalities, presenting a significant body of data, including information related to safety and efficacy, necessary to advance through the development pipeline into clinical use. The text covers bioanalytical methods and platforms including patient screening assays, different PCR tests, enzyme activity assays, ELISpot, NGS, LC/MS, and immunoassays, with FDA and EMA guidelines on gene therapy safety and efficacy, along with companion diagnostics regulations from US and EU perspectives.
The chapters offer an in-depth discussion of the basics and best practices for translational biomarkers, bioanalysis, and developing companion diagnostics / lab tests for gene therapies in the pharma and biopharma industries. To aid in reader comprehension, the text includes clinical examples of relevant therapies in related chapters. Some of the core topics covered include study design, immunogenicity, various bioanalytical methods and their applications, and global regulatory issues.
Written by two highly qualified authors with significant experience in the field, Drug Development for Gene Therapy includes information on:
Bioanalytical methods to detect pre-existing antibodies against adeno-associated viruses (AAV) capsids
Detection of cellular immunity and humoral response to viral capsids and transgene proteins, and immunogenicity of gene therapy products
Nonclinical and clinical study considerations and methods for biodistribution and shedding
Quantification of transgene protein expression and biochemical function, and substrate and distal pharmacodynamic biomarker measurements for gene therapy
Detection and quantification of rAAV integration and off-target editing
Current regulatory landscape for gene therapy product development and the role of biomarkers and general regulatory considerations for gene therapy companion diagnostics

With comprehensive coverage of the subject, Drug Development for Gene Therapy is a must-have resource for researchers and developers in the areas of pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, and contract research organizations (CROs), along with professors, researchers, and advanced students in chemistry, biological, biomedical engineering, pharmaceuticals, and medical sciences.
