03.11.26 -- Regulators Maintain Consistent Endpoints While Raising Evidence Standards

SPONSOR

The 7th TCR Based Therapies Summit is your pivotal industry-focused meeting uniting global leaders advancing T cell receptor–based cell and biologic therapies. Taking place this May, in Boston, we will delve into the field’s most urgent scientific, translational, and commercial challenges, to support the progression of durable, scalable TCR therapies to the clinic and beyond.

FOCUS ON REGULATORY & COMPLIANCE

Regulators Maintain Consistent Endpoints While Raising Evidence Standards

In, “2026 Regulatory Roadmap,” C&G's Chief Editor, Erin Harris, Wilson Bryan, M.D., former director of FDA’s Office of Tissues and Advanced Therapies (OTAT) and Daniela Drago, Ph.D., RAC, NDA Partner, analyze why FDA expectations for functional endpoints and biomarkers remain steady, even as the demand for rigorous trial designs and validated clinical data continues to intensify.

Building The Plant Of Tomorrow With Modular Automation

Standardized plug-and-produce modules reduce infrastructure complexity. See how MTP-based automation allows life science plants to adapt quickly while accelerating overall time-to-market.

Transforming Quality Management With ICH E6(R3) In CGT Trials

Discover how the updated ICH E6(R3) guideline supports the speed and complexity of CGT manufacturing, enabling flexible, risk‑based decisions and quality systems built to scale therapies safely.

Evaluating Airflow Requirements For Closed Sterility Testing Isolators

Is 0.45 m/s at the working position a hard requirement or a convention? Assess a risk-based approach to Annex 1 compliance that balances contamination control with operational efficiency.

Find The Right Aseptic Processing Approach

How should you approach building your aseptic processing line? Gain insight into the advantages of using a modular, configurable technology rather than custom fill-finish solutions.
