CAR-T In Vivo Pharmacology

CAR-T In Vivo Pharmacology With our experienced scientific, technical and regulatory experts, Creative Biolabs is able to assist in all preclinical facets of your cellular and gene therapy (CGT) program, including CAR-T animal model, CAR-T in vivo pharmacology and CAR-T toxicology, as well as study protocol design, assay development and validation, and various endpoints analysis.

Creative Biolabs provides preclinical pharmacological services for scientific consideration of properties and predictive clinical use of a CAR-T product. We support the preclinical development of the following product types for decades with our unique professional services.

Cellular Therapy Type Gene Therapy Type
Stem Cell Derived Mature/Functionally Differentiated  

✔ Variable capacity for self- renewal.
✔ Able to differentiate into variety of cell types.
✔ Fate is determined mainly by milieu post administration.

✔ No self-renewing or differentiation.

✔ Non-viral vectors (e.g., plasmids).
✔ Replication-deficient viral vectors (e.g., adenovirus, adeno-associated virus (AAV), retrovirus, lentivirus, poxvirus, herpes simplex virus (HSV)).
✔ Replication-competent oncolytic vectors (e.g., measles, reovirus, adenovirus, vesicular stomatitis virus, vaccinia).
✔ Genetically modified microorganisms (e.g., Listeria, Salmonella, E. coli, Bacteriophage).
Ex vivo genetically modified cells.

Specific Studies for Cellular and Gene Therapy Products

Proof of Concept studies ☆ We offer POC studies to define the dose range and timing, optimize the route of administration, and characterize the mechanism of action.
Dose determination studies ☆ We provide appropriate models to help determine dose regimen and route of administration via measurements of biological activities.

Pharmacological Measurements for Cellular and Gene Therapy Products

✔ Cell phenotype ✔ Cell source ✔ Ex vivo manipulation
✔ Minimal effective dose ✔ Limiting dose ✔ Cell fate
✔ Possibility of host immune response ✔ Local and systemic toxicities  

Endpoint Analysis Capabilities

✔ Clinical chemistry, coagulation and hematology ✔ Histopathology and immunohistochemistry ✔ Deep sequencing
✔ Replication-competent virus detection ✔ Neutralizing antibody assays ✔ Total and infectious titer assays
✔ High-throughput bioanalysis ✔ Immunogenicity ✔ Biomarker analysis

Considerations of Gene Therapy products

✔ Safety/activity via the intended clinical ROA ✔ Aberrant localization to non-target cells/tissues ✔ Level and/or persistence of vector and transgene expression
✔ Level of viral replication in non-target cells/tissues ✔ Inappropriate immune activation ✔ Immune response directed against the vector
✔ Phenotype/activation state of target cell(s) ✔ Potential for insertional mutagenesis and/or oncogenicity ✔ Transgene-related concerns
