Event Overview:

The molecular complexity, size, and higher-order structure of gene therapies create a unique challenge for pharmaceutical development. Discriminating, stage-appropriate, analytical and biophysical tools are key to fully characterizing and understanding routes of degradation that are unique to each drug substance on the path to producing a stable product and meeting rigorous safety guidelines. This webinar will provide insights into:

  • Characterizing aggregates to control stability and purity
  • Stability challenges faced during formulation and process development
  • Integrating analytical results for a complete picture of quality

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Recognize the relationship between chemical degradation and physical instability of therapeutic macromolecules and how to address this through formulation
  • Review the CMC requirements for gene therapies
  • Observe a demonstration of analytical methods to assess gene therapy quality attributes

Speaker: Benjamin Buer, Ph.D., Associate Director, Pharmaceutical Development, Pace Analytical Life Sciences

Equivalence test using two one-sided tests are widely used for demonstrating the comparability of treatment effects in different research fields. The method described in the manuscript aims to use simulations in Microsoft Excel to compute power for 2 one-sided tests for two groups with unequal variances.
Complying with International Pharmacopoeias
Susan J. Schniepp, distinguished fellow with Nelson Labs, and Siegfried Schmitt, PhD, vice president, Technical, with Parexel, clear up some of the confusion about what does and does not need to be complied with regarding standards set by international pharmacopoeias.
