Guidance Nonclinical Development of Oligonucleotide

FDA’s First Draft Guidance on Nonclinical Development of Oligonucleotides

The rapid evolution of biotechnology has positioned oligonucleotide-based therapeutics as one of the most promising therapeutic innovations in medicine today. From antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) mRNA, and guide RNAs (gRNAs), these molecules are reshaping how we approach previously untreatable conditions. Recognizing the potential and complexity of this expanding area, and the […]

Safety Testing of Allogeneic Cells used in Cell Based Medical Products

Cell based medicinal products use a single source of cells to treat multiple patients. For example, allogeneic cell therapies use donor cells to create a Master Cell Bank (MCB) that are then processed to be used in different kinds of therapies. The use of allogeneic cells to develop medicinal products and therapies demands rigorous testing

Post-market safety data for underrepresented populations in clinical trials

Introduction Regulatory agencies require sponsors to collect and provide data on the safety and efficacy of drugs that they have obtained from clinical trials. In addition to age, gender, and racial subgroups, these trials should also incorporate data on patient populations that are historically underrepresented in clinical research. Indeed, information from a diverse patient population
