AAV Suspension Platform Generation with significant Increase in Viral Vector Titer and Yield
The field of gene therapy has experienced significant growth in recent years. Adenoassociated virus (AAV)–mediated therapies account for ~70% of the gene therapy market. However, the manufacturing capacity for AAV vectors remains a critical bottleneck. WuXi Advanced Therapies launched a world-class AAV suspension platform early 2020. In this webinar, we will reveal the improvements that increased viral vector titer and yield on our platform.
The advancements in the platform include:
· Significant increase of viral vector titer
· Increased coverage of AAV serotypes
· Decreased process variability by using chemically defined growth medium
· Optimized and simplified downstream processing
· An increase in integrated testing capacity.

Innovative Closed Process CAR-T Cell Therapy Platform: A Streamlined Approach for Manufacturing with Great Predictability
For many years, the primary forms of cancer treatment have been chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. An amazing breakthrough known as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is being studied in the treatment of various types of cancer, including acute and chronic lymphoblastic leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, myeloma, and solid tumors. Developing innovative advanced therapies is one of our greatest opportunities to dramatically improve patients’ lives. WuXi Advanced Technologies recently announced the expansion of its service capabilities by offering a fully integrated CAR-T cell therapy platform to help accelerate the timeline for cell and gene therapy development, manufacturing, and release while providing greater predictability.
This presentation will showcase a method for accelerating timelines and progress to market for CAR-T production that includes: in-stock raw materials with established batch records; regulatory and technical expertise; process and analytical development; full in-process and release testing; robust quality control and quality assurance oversight; and facilities that offer the capacity and flexibility to meet client timeline needs. The platform also offers a closed process that allows flexibility of clinical manufacturing in a shared pre-equipped suite model that will significantly increase efficiency while mitigating cost.
Key Takeaways:
· How a closed-process CAR-T cell therapy platform streamlines manufacturing
· How to accelerate timelines and progress to market for CAR-T production
· How to mitigate risk with greater predictability through a fully integrated platform
