Cell therapies aim to treat, prevent, or potentially cure diseases. They are a relatively new and evolving area, which presents both opportunities and complexities. When developing these types of drugs, biopharmaceutical companies often struggle with three key challenges:
-
- Dose optimization. 剂量过低可能会使患者今后无法获益，而剂量过高则非常危险，因为任何免疫副作用都可能是不可逆的，并可能持续数年。
-
- Chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC). Cell therapy programs require substantial time and effort in product development including developing a testing methodology, establishing process controls, defining critical steps, and, most importantly, understanding how the components of the final product can impact cellular kinetics, safety, and efficacy.
-
- Commercialization. Cell therapies pose pricing and market access challenges as payers wrestle with paying upfront for a lifetime of patient benefits.
Clinical pharmacology and pharmacometric modeling can be used to help simplify these complexities by identifying the key aspects that have most influence on the performance, safety, efficacy, and durability of the cell therapy.
