Keeping the (Adventitious) Virus Out of the (Adeno-Associated) Virus



WEBINAR

How do you define a strategy for viral clearance for a process that inherently aims at purifying a virus?

Gene delivery using AAV has received a boost from two major approvals and the nearly 300 programs in the clinic. Novel gene therapies using viral vectors enable companies to transform the lives of people living with certain rare and ultra-rare diseases where treatments are often not available currently. Among a multitude of challenges in viral vector bioprocessing, uncertainty in regulatory expectations is a major challenge to gene therapy developers. Regulatory requirements are evolving as the science and manufacturing mature with more stringent measures for viral safety assurance expected for future approvals.

Learn how to implement techniques for adventitious virus removal in your viral vector process; we will focus on strategies for viral clearance along your journey towards commercial readiness of AAV-based processes.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • AAV process flows and focus areas for viral safety
  • Strategies for implementing viral clearance measures in bioprocessing
  • Case studies and data-driven approaches on log reduction values (LRV) in a viral vector process
