PACT will be conducting a short web seminar series covering topics critical to early phase of celltherapy product development. Potency assays for cell therapy products are intended to reflect thespecific ability of the product to effect a given result. However, the biological function of celltherapy products is not always fully elucidated, especially in early phase clinical trials. The webinarwill offer practical guidance, replete with specific examples, on approaches to development ofpotency assays that emerge by way of product characterization during preclinical and earlyclinical investigations. The presentation will incorporate recommendations from FDA guidancedocuments and will focus on test methods employed through validation including demonstration ofaccuracy, precision, sensitivity and specificity. It is anticipated that participants will emerge with asolid working knowledge of how to design, execute and analyze studies for potency assaydevelopment that is consistent with their clinical trial phase.

Registration is open!Register online at www.pactgroup.net.
