Gene Therapy Pre-Formulation Studies

Pre-formulation studies play a key role in ensuring the safety, efficacy and feasibility of gene therapy formulations and are an important step in advancing gene therapy from the laboratory to clinical application. Based on our state-of-the-art technology platform and experienced team, CD Formulation aims to provide pre-formulation study services for the development of gene therapy formulations. Our goal is to study and develop optimal gene therapy pre-formulations and provide solutions to problems that may be faced during the development process.

Why Conduct Gene Therapy Pre-formulation Studies?

• Improving safety and efficacy. Pre-formulation studies can help identify and optimize the safety and efficacy of gene therapy agents to ensure that they do not cause adverse reactions in clinical applications while achieving the desired therapeutic effects.
• Vector selection and optimization. The selection of appropriate vectors is critical to the success of gene therapy. Pre-formulation studies can evaluate the properties of different vectors, such as viral and non-viral vectors, as well as their efficiency and safety in specific applications.
• Reduced immune response. Pre-formulation studies allow the design of agents that reduce the recognition and attack of therapeutic genes or vectors by the host immune system, thus improving the success of therapy.
• Improve transfection efficiency. Pre-formulation studies work to improve the transfection efficiency of gene therapy formulations, ensuring that the target cells can efficiently take up and express the therapeutic gene.
• Stability and delivery studies. Studying the physical and chemical stability of gene therapy formulations, as well as their delivery and release mechanisms in vivo, is a critical step in ensuring their stability and efficacy in clinical applications.

Utilizing advanced technologies and methodologies, our team will carefully analyze and evaluate our client's project requirements, giving full consideration to a variety of factors such as stability, targeting, and safety in the development of the targeted gene therapy formulations. We will go through a series of experiments and tests to ultimately provide customers with satisfactory gene therapy formulation products. Throughout the pre-formulation study process, our research team continuously optimizes the analytical methods, aiming to provide high-quality technical support for subsequent formulation development. Our pre-formulation research services include but are not limited to the following.

Vector selection and development

Vectors for gene therapy are key tools for delivering therapeutic genes to target cells. Our research may focus on the selection and modification of different types of viral vectors (e.g., retroviruses, adeno-associated viruses, lentiviruses, etc.) and non-viral vectors (e.g., liposomes, nanoparticles, etc.) to improve their delivery efficiency and to reduce immunogenicity.

Optimization of delivery systems

Different delivery systems have a significant impact on the efficacy of gene therapy. Key points of our research include but are not limited to transfection efficiency, cytotoxicity, tissue specificity, etc.

Delivery pathway studies

How the gene enters the target cells or tissues is a key issue in the pre-formulation study, and we need to choose the appropriate delivery route according to the target and drug properties, such as systemic delivery, gene gun, etc.

Design and optimization of therapeutic genes

This process involves selecting or designing gene sequences capable of treating a specific disease, e.g., for hemophilia, clotting factor genes may be designed to compensate for defective genes. In addition, we optimize gene sequences, such as the selection of promoters and the use of enhancers.

Safety evaluation

In the pre-formulation stage, we must evaluate the potential risks of gene therapy, including insertion mutations, immune response non-target effects, etc. We focus on confirming whether there will be any adverse or immune reactions, including acute toxicity and chronic toxicity studies, immunogenicity assessment, etc.

Efficacy studies

To study the efficacy of gene therapy, including tests in vitro cell cultures and animal models to determine the expression levels of therapeutic genes and therapeutic effects.

Stability studies

Ensure that gene vectors and gene therapy formulations remain stable during storage and transportation, including but not limited to solution stability, Lyophilization Stability, and storage condition studies.
