Establishing and maintaining consistency and reliability of raw materials and the product throughout development stages and in the fi nal commercial process is critical and presents a challenge for complex biological systems due to multiple factors that aff ect their viability and function.The leveraging of clinical data throughout development can occur only if the drug product has similar or comparable qualities throughout development. Thus, comparability for CGT therapy products is a critical aspect of process development and is required to link clinical data throughout progressive phases of product development.Assays measuring product potency are of central importance to all product development and quality control activities. Potency assays serve many functions. They help to identify and control sources of variation in product activity and to test for product comparability across lots, process changes, sites, scale changes, and stability testing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
