Cell & Gene therapy has developed rapidly in recent years, providing the possibility of curing many difficult-to-treat cancers. With the rapid development of gene transduction and gene modification technology, delivery vector system, cell culture technology and other fields, gene therapy has made a breakthrough, provide a better solution, concept and idea for intractable diseases (especially rare genetic diseases).
Medicilon has established a one-stop research platform for the preclinical R&D of Cell & Gene immunotherapies, covering a variety of immunotherapy methods including CAR-T, TCR-T and CAR-NK. Using a wealth of animal models and a variety of advanced analysis techniques, comprehensively considering the characteristics of different research projects, Medicilon has completed multiple preclinical projects for clients worldwide.
Cell & Gene Therapy Preclinical Research Content
Medicilon boasts nearly 300 tumor evaluation models. At the same time, we are empowering innovative therapies to comprehensively evaluate and study immuno-oncology. We have completed model establishment and efficacy evaluation of immuno-therapies such as CAR-T, TCR-T, CAR-NK, oncolytic virus, antibody (monoclonal antibody, double antibody, polyclonal antibody, etc.), siRNA, AAV.
Pharmacodynamic Studies
❖ Tumor killing rate or proliferation inhibition rate
❖ Expression of IFN-γ
❖ Phenotypic changes of CAR-T cells
Technical Method
❖ Bioluminescent Imaging (BLI)
❖ Flow Cytometry
❖ Immunoassay Technology
❖ Pathology Technology
Cell & Gene therapy products should be analyzed and evaluated according to the specific characteristics of the product, taking into account the actual exposure in non-clinical studies. The bio-distribution of cell & gene therapy products is the distribution, persistence and clearance of gene therapy products in target and non-target tissues in the body.
Technology Platform
❖ Imaging Technology
❖ Flow Cytometry
❖ Immunohistochemistry Technology
❖ Quantitative PCR Technology
❖ ddPCR
❖ ELISPot
Cell & Gene therapy products should be capable of effective introduction/exposure in the relevant animal species. The non-clinical safety studies of cell therapies (such as CAR-T cells) include: cytokine release syndrome (CRS), reversible neurotoxicity, B cell reduction, on-target/off-tumor, CAR- T cell tumorigenicity, etc.
