Therapeutic Expertise
Cell and Gene Therapy (CAGT)
Providing industry-leading science and innovative laboratory solutions across the CAGT spectrum
Expert services to stay ahead of advancing science
The use of alternative treatments such as Cell and Gene Therapies (CAGT) holds great potential for bridging the gaps left by traditional treatments. These innovative CAGT clinical development programs require a suite of complex laboratory assessments to satisfy regulatory submissions and support Proof of Mechanism, Pharmacodynamic, Safety and Efficacy investigations. IQVIA Laboratories with its global laboratory network and industry leading subject matter experts, is ideally positioned to shape, validate, and deliver those biomarker assessments. IQVIA Laboratories can provide flexible, integrated Cell and Gene Therapy development solutions throughout the drug development journey, beginning with the pre-clinical phase and continuing through post-approval.
IQVIA Laboratories offers an extensive array of CAGT laboratory solutions to meet the unique demands of CAGT clinical development
Industry-Leading Technology and Expertise with a Global Footprint
Genomics technology
We quickly design and validate potential therapeutics and can accommodate early safety testing with specialized assays, including ddPCR, Next Generation Sequencing and single-cell portfolio.
Thought leadership
We offer not only laboratory testing but also expertise in the design, validation, and choosing the correct assay for your specific need.
Global assays
We develop customized assays in our North Carolina laboratory and transfer them seamlessly to Beijing and other laboratories around the world.
CASE STUDY
Winning the successful approval of CAR-T in China
We are connecting across the organization and applying our collective intelligence to solve the most pressing challenges facing CAGT sponsors.
In just one example, a CAR-T therapeutic (YESCARTA) was approved by the FDA in 2017. An additional clinical study was set up in China in 2018 and was awarded to IQVIA Laboratories.
- Study title: An Open-Label Clinical Study for Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of FKC876 in the Treatment of Relapsed and Refractory Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL)
- Phase 1-2 (bridging study)
- Enrollment: 15
- Indications: R/R large B cell lymphoma, including DLBCL, PMBCL, HGBCL, TFL.
- Primary endpoint: DLT, ORR
- Secondary endpoint: AE, PFS, DOR, OS
- Exploratory endpoint: FKC876 expansion and persistence in blood and correlation with efficacy; PD marker and predictive biomarker correlation with efficacy; FKC876 expansion/PD marker correlations with CRS and neurotoxicity; gene mutations correlations with efficacy.
