The management of risk and investment in cell therapy process development: a case study for neurodegenerative disease
journal contribution
posted on 2019-06-28, 12:54 authored by Sujith Sebastian, Paul C. Hourd, Amit Chandra, David Williams, Nick MedcalfCell-based therapies must achieve clinical efficacy and safety with reproducible and cost-effective manufacturing. This study addresses process development issues using the exemplar of a human pluripotent
stem cell-based dopaminergic neuron cell therapy product. Early identification and correction of risks to
product safety and the manufacturing process reduces the expensive and time-consuming bridging studies later in development. A New Product Introduction map was used to determine the developmental
requirements specific to the product. Systematic Risk Analysis is exemplified here. Expected current valuebased prioritization guides decisions about the sequence of process studies and whether and if an early
abandonment of further research is appropriate. The application of the three tools enabled prioritization
of the development studies
Funding
This study was conducted under the UK Regenerative Medicine Platform as part of the work of the Cell Behaviour, Differentiation and Manufacturing Hub. It comprised part of the Pluripotent Stem Cell Platform (PSCP) project funded by the Medical Research Council, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (grant number MR/L012537/1). Professor Nicholas Medcalf was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (grant number EP/K037099/1).
