Maximizing Oligonucleotide Therapeutic Development: How They Work

This is the first of three blog posts discussing best practices for developing oligonucleotides. Interest in oligonucleotide therapies, which are composed of short strands of DNA or RNA, is growing rapidly; there are at least 135 of them currently in development.1 Underscoring their proliferation, a PubMed search for “oligonucleotide therapeutics” generated more than 35,000 hits. … Continued

Simcyp Simulator Impacts 80+ Novel Drugs

250 Label claims using PBPK without the need for additional clinical studies “Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approaches.”  This is the language typically used by the US FDA on drug labels to describe how clinical pharmacology decisions have been reached.  Much more detail can be found in the Office of Clinical Pharmacology (OCP) review that supports … Continued

The Importance of Continuity of Operations Plans for Gene Therapy Manufacturers

By: James Zoshak The COVID-19 pandemic has added increased risk and uncertainty to gene therapy supply chains. To mitigate this risk, it is critical for biopharmaceutical manufacturers to properly maintain the documentation governing their continuity of operations. It’s complicated: Gene therapy products supply chains and manufacturing While many people working in the pharmaceutical industry can … Continued

Why Consistency in Patient Safety Narratives is Crucial

“You would not be able to tell 40 different writers were authoring these. It looked as though one person was writing them! The writers wrote a streamlined and visually-cohesive and consistent story that made reviewing the large set by only a few reviewers extremely efficient. This software is extremely valuable.” — Associate Director, Medical Writing … Continued

8 Tips for Successfully Developing Oligonucleotide Therapies

By Eva Gil Berglund and Nathalie H Gosselin Oligonucleotide therapeutics are a validated class of drugs that can modulate a multitude of genetic targets with gene silencing to prevent expression of encoded “disease-related” proteins. Developing drugs in this class is challenging. That’s why we’ve put together this list of 8 clinical pharmacology and pharmacokinetic considerations … Continued
